- Max attendance is 150, not 250. So register early. It WILL be sold out.
- The best way to guarantee yourself a spot is to be a presenter :-) - It really is the best C++ conference. It is not just the talks, but the conversations between the talks. The conference is purposely kept small to enable great interaction between attendees and presenters. - "Extreme OO In the Era of C++11" sounds like a great talk to me. - modules won't be in C++14. C++17 at the very earliest. C++14 is basically done. - I've been to almost every BoostCon/C++Now, presented at the last 3, and am part of the planning committee, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
