ACCU Conferences

Historically, ACCU conferences have a lot of C++ and C content, and is proud of that: ACCU is the foremost annual conference for people interested in C++ and C, at least in and around the UK. But it is not just a C++ and C conference, ACCU conferences are about programming in whatever language people are using, with whatever tools and processes people are using. D, Chapel, Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, Groovy, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, and Lisp are just a few programming languages about which there have been sessions at ACCU conferences. Git, Mercurial, CMake, Meson, TDD, BDD, and many other software development tools and techniques have been the focus of sessions at ACCU conferences. ACCU conferences look for sessions that will be interesting to people who create software.

ACCU conferences have:

• 90 minute sessions, either:

  • 60 minute presentation with 30 minutes questions and answers; ^{[ 1 ]} , or

  • a workshop. ^{[ 2 ]} .

• 180 minute workshops ^{[ 3 ]} .

• 20 minute sessions; 15 minute presentation and 5 minutes questions and answers.

• Full day (6 hour with breaks) pre- and post-conference workshops. both in-person and online.

There are also lightning talk sessions; but, as ever, these are organised at the conference.

Footnotes:

1. Some people choose to structure this as 90 minutes of interactive presentation instead of 60 minutes presentation and 30 minutes Q&A, and that is fine – the point is to have interaction and dialogue. A 90 minutes one-way presentation without interaction is not really what we want.

2. A workshop is all about people doing things.

3. For the situation when 90 minutes is just too short for the activity.
