C++ on Sea is an international C++ conference taking place by the sea, in the UK. Our venue is in Folkestone, Kent, near the entrance to the channel tunnel with stunning views across the English Channel.
New for 2024: we're running two pre-conference workshop days, as well as our usual three-day main conference. And we're back to four tracks!

Full schedule for 2024
We now have the full schedule for 2024 - and it's a doozy! We also have a few new features this year.
🗣 Workshops
As previously announced, we're running 2-day workshops for the first time - three of them! We also have two 1-day workshops, which run back-to-back and have a common theme, so you can even take both!
🛤️ 4 Tracks
We are back to a full four tracks for the main conference. In fact this will be the first year we have put on four tracks over a full three days - so we have more content than ever before!
That's just as well because we had some awesome sessions to choose from - and still had to so no to plenty of world class proposals.
We also have two half-day workshops in the main programme. These run on Thursday morning and span 60 minute and 90 minute sessions back-to-back (with a break in-between). They are designed to be attended all the way through, but you can still mix and match them with other sessions.
🗝 Keynotes
As announced in March, we are very happy to have Dave Abrahams, Daniela Engert and Klaus Iglberger as our keynote speakers this year.
🍿 Movie Night
Another new element is the Movie Night, hosted by Walter Brown, on Wednesday evening. This runs from 20:00 to past 22:00, so is a late one, but will be a fascinating journey through the history of software development.
⚡️ Lightning talks + 🥗 Dinner on Sea
Returning are two blocks of lightning talks on Wednesday and Thursday late afternoons and the conference dinner (separate ticket required) on the Thursday evening.
Anyone can propose a lightning talk. Submissions will be collected closer to the event.
🍸 Pre-registration evening
To enjoy the full conference its best to arrive the evening before the first day (unless you're in one of our workshops, in which case you'll already be there). So our registration desk will be open on Tuesday evening for you to collect your badge and goodies bag. But we'll also have the bar open, so why not stick around for some socialising too?
✚ Sponsored content
We have nice long 90-minute lunch breaks, but if you want more content the second half of each lunch break is open to additional material in the main hall provided by some of our sponsors. While this is explicitly sponsored content these talks are usually technically appealing so why not hang out and see what they have to say? (these sessions will appear on the schedule as details become finalised).
This is a packed schedule that you're not going to want to miss!
