The C++ Online 2024 Call for Speakers runs until 31st October 2023
So you'd like to present at C++ Online? Great! We look forward to and welcome submissions from everyone, including those who might otherwise feel excluded.
This event will run, entirely online, from 7th - 9th February 2024, with a pre-conference workshops day on the 6th.
The main conference will feature mostly 60 minute presentations, with a few 90 minute slots available, too. We also have the potential to include half-day workshops in the main programme. And we will also be running lightning talks on one of the evenings, which we'll collect proposals for closer to the event.
The workshop day is ticketed separately, so full day workshop instructors will get a generous share of the revenue. Half-day workshops are part of the main programme (think of them as 60+90 minute slots, back-to-back) and are a great way for new instructors to test the waters, or if you just want to go deep on a topic.
What should I present on?
The main subject should be C++ related - although we may consider a small number of other topics that may be of interest to typical C++ developers. Note that talks on C++ successor languages, such as Carbon, are considered "C++ related".
But beyond that we're looking for a diverse range of material - including content aimed more at beginners to C++. Of course intermediate and advanced topics are also encouraged.
Who should present?
We want to put on the best conference possible. We believe that this means hearing from voices from different backgrounds and experience levels. As part of this commitment, the main round of submission reviews is anonymised (so please try to avoid including personally identifiable words or phrases in your title, abstract and outline).
We'd also like to make especially clear that people from all backgrounds - minorities or otherwise - are not only welcome, but we will do whatever we can to actively support you. If you have any questions or concerns about this, always feel free to contact us.
How long do I have?
The Call For Speakers will remain open until midnight (GMT) on 31st October 2023. But don't wait until then! Those last-minute, rushed, submissions are never as good as those you have set aside the time, early on, to do properly. After that time a panel of reviewers will short-list the content (both talks and workshops) that will make up the programme. We aim to notify speakers by the end of November.
Benefits
All speakers get full access to the whole event, as well as complimentary "timeshift" access to the videos of sessions shortly after they finish. (Note that, because full-day workshops are ticketed separately, and profit is shared with the instructors, these are not included in the free entry package)
Full-day workshop presenters will also receive a generous percentage of ticket sales as detailed here. - ignoring the references to in-person events on that page.
