Hello.
And welcome to "C++ Weekly."
I'm your host, Jason Turner.
I'm available for code
reviews, contracting,
and on-site training.
It was recently brought to
my attention that there are
viewers of "C++ Weekly" who
are not aware of the fact that
there are many C++ conferences
going on around the world right
now.
So I wanted to
mention some of them.
It's, I think, all
that I am aware of.
There are probably more.
But be aware that there are
conferences going on all
around the world right now.
And you can attend one of
them often fairly easily
because they're in so many
different places right now.
So I'm going to discuss
these in no particular order.
But first, we have Pacific++,
which was just held October 18
and 19 of 2018 in Sydney.
And this is an Asia
Pacific C++ conference.
The dates for 2019
I do not believe
have been announced yet.
And of course, if you're
watching this video sometime
in the future, I am
recording this in early 2019.
So what conferences
exist when you watch
this might be different.
But these things are going
on all over the place.
So make sure that you
are paying attention.
Next up, we have code::dive,
which is in Wroclaw, Poland.
And my understanding is that
they get a fairly good turnout
to this conference.
The dates for 2019
have been announced.
It is November 20 and 21.
And I hear great things
about this conference
and that they have lots of
great speakers come to it.
Next up is C++ On Sea, which
was just held February 4 through
the 6th of 2019.
And this is in
Folkestone, England,
and this is on the southern
coast of England in February.
And it was a great conference.
It was very well-organized,
and I was there.
I highly recommend going to it.
The dates for 2020 have
not been announced yet,
as far as I know.
And here is C++ Europe.
I could be mistaken.
I believe that this
is the first year
of this conference is 2019.
And the conference
will be happening
I believe at the same
day as this video goes
live or very close to that.
And this one is in
Bucharest, Romania.
So if you're in
Bucharest and you're just
now watching this video,
it's probably too late to go.
But keep your eye open.
Hopefully, they will do
something again in 2020.
Next is emBO++.
This is in Bochum, Germany.
It is being held from the
14th through the 17th in March
of 2019, and they have been
consistent the last two years.
So I expect that
the dates for 2020
will be announced shortly
after this conference has
been completed.
And this one has got a
focus on Embedded C++.
Next, we have ACCU, and this
conference has been around
for quite a while.
This one is going to be held
in April 10 through the 13th,
and it is, I believe,
always in Bristol, UK.
And this particular conference
is not a C++-specific
conference, but it does have
a lot of C and C++ content.
And as you can see here,
if you're paying attention
to the screenshots, that is
Herb Sutter presenting on stage.
They do get a lot of well-known
names in the C++ world.
So if you're in that
area, check them out.
And here is C++ Russia.
The dates that are
currently up are April 19
through the 20th in Moscow.
Now, it is my understanding
that C++ Russia moves around
a little bit, sometimes has
multiple conferences in a year,
that kind of thing.
So check these conferences out.
They, I believe, have a mix of
Russian and English content.
And C++Now, which used
to be known as Boost Con,
is being held this year
May 5 through May 10th.
And this conference has been
going for quite a while now.
I believe this will be the 12th
year, if I have that right.
This is a very small,
intentionally limited
conference that can
only have, I believe,
something like 150
attendees total.
It's a great experience
for getting to know people
in the C++ world.
And they have really great
technical deep talks here,
but that doesn't mean
it's only for experts
or anything like that.
Anyone can come and learn a lot.
And it is a great
conference for interaction
amongst the attendees.
Coming up May 14 through the
17th of 2019 here is Core C++.
It's going to be in Tel Aviv.
This is the first C++
conference in Israel,
and I will be speaking
at this one, as well.
Actually, I will be
giving a keynote talk
at this particular
conference, which I am greatly
looking forward to.
So if you're in Israel and
you're watching this video,
absolutely go and check
this conference out.
Make sure you get
the word out there.
And now we have the
Italian C++ Conference,
which is coming up June
15, in Milan, of 2019.
And I have never been
to this conference.
My understanding is that
it's a one-day conference
with some mix of Italian
and English content.
So be sure to check this one
out if you have any interest.
Next up is Meeting C++.
This is, I believe, the largest
C++ conference in Europe that
is C++-specific, anyhow.
And they also just
recently added a day
before the conference
for Meeting Embedded.
At least, they did in 2018.
And so you're going to get
some possibly Embedded and C++
coverage here.
But it is a great
conference that
is held in Berlin every year
in the November time frame.
And the date here has
been announced for 2019.
It is November 14
through the 16th.
And now we have CppCon,
which is, I believe,
the largest C++-specific
conference in the world,
with over 1,000 attendees last
year in Bellevue, Washington.
And for the entirety
of this conference,
it has been held in
Bellevue, Washington.
For 2019, September
15 through the 20th,
it is going to be
held in Aurora,
Colorado for the first time at
a brand new conference center.
We're looking forward to that.
And this is just more
content than you can possibly
imagine at a conference.
So it's definitely a
good one to check out.
So thanks for
watching this episode.
I know I did not have any
real specific C++ content,
but I wanted to make sure that
all the viewers of this channel
are aware of the amazing C++
conference community that is
growing and building
around the world.
Be sure to check out one
of the conferences that's
coming up in your area.
I believe there are also
conferences in Asia,
but I am not as
familiar with those.
And I am not at the moment
familiar with any C++
conference happening in Africa.
But if you are in Africa
and you're interested,
you should consider
starting one yourself.
Most of these conferences
have been just started
by an individual or a local
users group that said,
we need a conference
in our area.
And they start one up.
Again, thanks for
watching this episode.
