If you are a European who has attended US C++ conferences, and are now not comfortable with that, may I suggest @cppnorth.bsky.social ? In Toronto in July, still on early bird prices until we get the program built. Check out cppnorth.ca and our previous talks at www.youtube.com/@cppnorth

- NDC TechTown 🇳🇴
- C++ On Sea 🇬🇧
- ACCU 🇬🇧
- CppNorth 🇨🇦

Which did I miss?

Carbon-C++ interop demo debut... on a C64 emulator! Couldn't have asked for a more iconic way to watch the future unfold. The vibe was on point, the message was warm & fuzzy, an emotional rollercoaster. Props to @scott.hanselman.com‬ for making a code demo a moment. 💻💖 #CarbonLang #CppNorth

I wish all conferences posted their menus. I know in advance what I can eat, if I need to bring a granola bar, which breaks have food and which don't ... cppnorth.ca/menu/ It's work, and it's work worth doing to ensure attendees are comfortable. Thanks @cppnorth.bsky.social !

I've never been to CppNorth before, in part because it always conflicts with TransPride Brighton. This year I'm missing TransPride Brighton for CppNorth. I'm thinking of all my trans family marching in Brighton today. Together, we are strong.🏳️‍⚧️ 💖
