News: 2025 T-Shirt and Dinner sales will close soon
Food for thought
One of the highlights of the conference is "Dinner on Sea" - the dinner event we hold at the venue on the second evening (Tuesday, this year). This is often called the Speakers Dinner, as the speakers are our guests of honour and we try to distribute them evenly around the tables so everyone has a change to interact with them.
But this dinner is not just for speakers. It's also a great chance to network with others, enjoy great food prepared by the venue chefs (who also cater to weddings and other gala events), and experience the views over the sea as the sun sets.
But we do need to close dinner ticket sales earlier, so the venue has enough time to order the food in. So don't miss out! Get your dinner ticket today, or at least by Friday, 13th June.
Been there, done that - but did you get the t-shirt?
Similarly for t-shirts, we need to order in time to have them delivered. So if you want the perfect souvenir of the conference, please be sure to order yours by Wednesday, 11th June.

Location
C++ on Sea is hosted at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone in Kent, UK, overlooking the English Channel. This historic seaside town is also home to the channel tunnel and, as such, has excellent links to the rest of europe. It's also very accessible from London with the UK's (currently) only high speed link, the HS1. For more comprehensive travel information, see the page, Getting to C++ on Sea
The Leas Cliff Hall is a working theater that also has a dedicated conference suite. Built into the cliffs, and with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the sea on three sides, the views are spectacular!
The venue is about a 15 minute walk from Folkestone Central station, or ten minutes walk to the bustling town centre. As well as the modern town the old quarter, home to art galleries, curio shops and bohemian cafes and restaurants, extends down to the picturesque harbour. It's no wonder The Times voted it one of the best places to live in 2023.
Although the venue is split across three floors, connected via staircases, it is also fully accessible via elevator.
