C&B 2013 Dates Finalized: December 9-12, 2013
Posted by scottmeyers under General[3] Comments
About a month ago, I posted tentative dates for C&B 2013. I cautioned that there was no contract yet, and I’m glad I did, because shortly thereafter we discovered an off-by-one scheduling snafu. As a result, the dates are not the ones I posted earlier, they’re a day later: Monday evening, December 9, through Thursday, December 12.
The inital C&B in 2010 was held at the Salish Lodge and Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington, USA. In 2011, we had a larger group in a larger venue, and last year we bumped up the numbers again. Growth was ours, it seemed, but we sensed that C&B was looking more like a conventional conference and less like the unique event we had originally envisioned. For 2013, we decided to return to our roots, both geographically and organizationally.
For scale, note Salish Lodge in the upper left and the people in middle of the photo.
C&B 2013 will return to the Salish Lodge and Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington (not far from Seattle). Enrollment will again be limited to the capacity of the ballroom (~64 attendees). Scott will again lead lunchtime walks. Evenings will again feature free-form “hang out with the speakers” sessions. Hotel guestrooms will again boast fireplaces, whirlpool tubs for two, and one whopping big waterfall just steps from the front door. If you were part of C&B 2010, you know what I’m talking about. If you weren’t, ask around: you’ll wish you had been.
We’ll announce more details when they’ve been finalized, including when registration for C&B 2013 will begin. In the meantime, reserve December 9-12 for C++ and Beyond 2013 in Snoqualmie, Washington, USA.
Scott

February 13, 2013 at 5:55 amHerb, last year you teased with a C++ answer to C#’s “await” (“then”?). You also posed a seemingly open-ended question about a generalized wrapper for any C++ interface. I’d love to see those topics covered!

February 18, 2013 at 4:52 pm@Scott Jones: Actually I covered all of that except “await” in my concurrency talk that is now available on C9… see cppandbeyond.com/2013/01/07/video-of-c-and-beyond-2012-concurrency-and-parallelism/ .
Having said that, hmm, you know, await just might be an interesting topic this year…
