About The Conference
Conference Begins In
Building from the success of the Toronto user group, CppNorth will bring together local and visiting speakers for three days filled with opportunities to learn, network and discover what is new in the C++ community. There will also be two-day workshops on the weekend prior to the start of the conference (July 16 & July 17).
