As we gear up for our 2024 event we're pleased to say that Bloomberg are already onboard as our Platinum sponsor!
If you're looking for your next move Bloomberg are always looking out for talented C++ developers to join them.
Let's hear from them in their own words:
Bloomberg is building the world's most trusted information network for financial professionals. Our 9,000+ engineers are dedicated to advancing and building new systems for the Bloomberg Terminal and other products to solve complex, real-world problems.
C++ is one of our core programming languages. We are constantly pushing the language to its limits because our code needs to be scalable, reliable, and extremely fast — especially since every microsecond counts in the finance industry. Our C++ experts build everything from low-level libraries and components to some of the most performant financial applications, analytics, and trading systems in the world. They also contribute to the C++ Standards Committee (WG21). Learn more at TechAtBloomberg.com/cplusplus.
DANIELA ENGERT
DAVE ABRAHAMS
KLAUS IGLBERGER
We're thrilled to announce our line-up of keynote speakers for 2024!
Daniela Engert and Klaus Iglberger have blown away audiences over the last couple of years and this year get to do again as keynote speakers. Daniela has become known for blazing the trail with C++ Modules and modern C++ in general - both inside and outside the standards committee, while Klaus is the main developer behind the high performance maths library, Blaze, and is a trainer with a particular specialism in the modern application of Design Patterns.
Dave Abrahams will also be familiar to most, through his earlier work as one of the original leaders of Boost and in his work on the standards committee, and more recently at Adobe's Software Technology Lab where he is involved with the development of the Hylo language.
Want to join our keynote speakers? Our Call for speakers runs until 13th March. Speaking not your thing? Then Early Bird tickets are currently available.
We have now opened Early Bird ticket sales for the main conference. As is tradition, we run the Early Bird sales up until the speaker selection is announced - a little reward for your faith in us putting together a good programme, if you like.
Some have asked if there can be Early Bird rate for our "Complete Conference Package" tickets, which include a workshop, conference dinner and an exclusive t-shirt. It's that workshop that makes it difficult, since the actual workshops aren't known until Early Bird ends.
This is one of the reasons we are introducing a new ticket type: the Early Bird Option. I know that many of our attendees have a background in finance, but even if not you may be familiar with the idea of an option: you pay a small amount now to secure the right to buy something else at a fixed price later.
And that's what this ticket does. For a small fee now you can buy a conference ticket later, once all the details are known - including workshops - and get almost the same effective discount you would get from an Early Bird ticket now. And it can be used for The Complete Conference Package, too!
There's just one more thing... if you look under your seat ...
We're also giving anyone who buys a C++ on Sea conference ticket a free ticket to our sister conference, C++ Online!
But, as I write this, C++ Online 2024 is next week. So here's how it works:
At the point you buy a C++ on Sea conference ticket (whether it's Early Bird, Standard or Complete) you become eligible for the next C++ Online. So at time of writing that's C++ Online 2024, but if you buy after next week you become eligible for C++ Online 2025.
