News: Welcome our Platinum sponsor for 2025: Bloomberg Engineering
Bloomberg are back as our Platinum sponsor this year. We're very grateful for their continued support of C++ on Sea and the wider C++ community.
They know that these are the communities that many of the best C++ developers hang out - so if you're interested joining them click the link at the end of this post.
As usual let's hear from them directly:
Bloomberg is building the world's most trusted information network for financial professionals. Our 9,000+ dedicated engineers are advancing and building new systems for the Bloomberg Terminal to solve complex, real-world problems.
C++ is one of our core programming languages. We constantly push the language to its limits because our code must be scalable, reliable, and extremely fast — especially since every microsecond counts in finance. Our C++ experts build everything from low-level libraries and components to some of the world’s most performant financial applications, analytics, and trading systems. They also contribute to the C++ Standards Committee (WG21). Learn more at TechAtBloomberg.com/cplusplus.

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.
