Stay at the Gaylord Rockies! <== Free stuff!

Again this year, we have a conference special that includes up to five days of lunch vouchers (up to $30 daily) and free WiFi throughout the hotel and conference center throughout the week exclusively for attendees staying at the Gaylord Rockies. We are unable to provide WiFi in the conference center for those not staying at the hotel, and there is no way to purchase that from the hotel. Let us know during registration that you will be staying at the hotel, and book your room at the Gaylord Rockies. You’ll receive one lunch voucher, up to a maximum of five vouchers per attendee, for each night of your stay. There is a limit of one voucher per room night no matter how many people are sharing the room. Room nights paid for by the conference do not qualify for the lunch vouchers.

Conference Registration

For individuals whose organization requires it, a certificate of completion is available for CppCon registration and CppCon Academy classes. To request a certificate contact the CppCon Registrar.

There are no physical or electronic tickets provided for the conference. Once you are registered for the conference, you simply pick up your badge either during the Registration Reception on Sunday evening between 8 and 10 PM (20:00 – 22:00), or at the Info Desk & Store starting at 8 AM daily Monday through Friday.

Open Content Sessions <== Free access

The conference designates certain sessions as Open Content (open to all), even those that are not registered for the conference. Of course, everyone at CppCon is expected to follow our Code of Conduct.

The sessions that are open to all are:

Any sessions starting before 09:00 MDT.
Any sessions during the lunch break (12:00 to 14:00 M-Th).
Any sessions starting at 20:30 or later, including Fireside Chat and Lightning Talks.
All sessions on Friday. That’s right Friday is Free!

If you are local to Aurora, please come by and enjoy some of the CppCon experience.

Tell your boss that the team is all going to be at CppCon on Friday.

Registration Options

Field Trip: Wings Over the Rockies Air Museum

The field trip will be held on Sunday, the 14th, and is an excellent way to get acquainted with fellow attendees and get a unique taste of the Denver experience. We will leave the Gaylord Rockies resort at 11:15 AM on September 14th and arrive at the museum at 12:00. Lunch will be served at the museum. You will be able to see the multitude of aircraft, rockets, engines, and even a replica Apollo guidance computer the museum has on display. At the museum, we will have lunch provided by Curtis Park Delicatessen, a deli local to Denver and Boulder. Gluten free and other dietary restriction meals available on request.

Conference “Meet the Presenters” Banquet:

Join this year’s presenters (of classes and sessions) for a banquet on the evening of Thursday, the 18th. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to dine with conference presenters at an informal, yet lavish setting. The food and ambiance will be almost as special as the conversation. This is an add-on for conference registrations that don’t include it.

Conference Community Dinner:

CppCon’s Community Dinner will be held on Wednesday, September 17th to socialize and discuss processes, experiences, and paths forward for improving diversity and inclusion in the C++ community. This is a limited capacity event, and if more people sign up for it than there are spaces, there will be a lottery to determine who is able to attend. Registration for this dinner will be separate from the main conference registration and will open closer to the conference date.
