Our Commitment
CppNorth believes in an open, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere. Therefore we plan the conference with inclusivity in mind. In fact, it is our first priority with planning. We recognize that no framework is perfect and we work to evolve our inclusivity framework continuously.
Here is what you can expect from us:
Safety & Respect
We have a code of conduct team ensuring that the conference is a safe and respectful place to learn, collaborate, and have fun.
Accessibility
Our venue is small and fully accessible, accommodating those attendees with mobility needs.
Quiet Rooms
We provide dedicated quiet rooms for those who need a break from the noisy conference environment.
Dietary Planning
We publish our snack and meal plans ahead for those who have dietary restrictions and need to plan accordingly. Our event is hosted in downtown Toronto, with many food choices nearby.
Fair Speaker Selection
Talk submissions are evaluated at first without speaker identity to make room for new speakers with interesting topics to share.
Speaker Support
Flexible timeline for submission of talks and advice on how to submit the best possible talk will be provided.
Inclusive Facilities

Online Safety
Discord is moderated to ensure conversation is respectful. Published YouTube comments are moderated and turned off entirely when requested.
