First In-Person Event of the CaDiR C++ User Group

The first in-person event for the University C++ user group has been announced. They are looking for flash talk presenters as well as attendees!

27 Apr 2026 10:00 — 14:00

Jocelyn Bell Burnell Theatre (Ground Floor, Schuster Building)

The C++ User Group at the University of Manchester is delighted to announce our very first in-person event!

Agenda

10:00 – 11:50: C++ User Group session (flash talks + featured talk, open to UoM staff, researchers and PGRs)

11:50 - 12:20: Lunch for Morning section

12:20 - 14:00: Coding with/without AI forum (open to all including UGs)

After the morning session, we will move into a relaxed forum featuring demos, contrasting perspectives on AI-assisted coding, Q&A, networking, and a guest lecture from Marco Montella on C++ in real-time analysis.

We’re looking for speakers for the morning C++ User Group session!

We need:

  • Lightning/Flash Talks: Either 3 × 15-minute talks or 4 × 10-minute talks
  • One 45-minute featured talk (great topics include CMake, Qt, or any interesting C++ tools, techniques, or real-world experiences from research or industry)

This is a friendly, low-pressure environment. Perfect for sharing a quick tip, a cool project, or a useful library with the local C++ community.

If you’d like to present, please complete the short submission form.

We can’t wait to hear from you and to see everyone on 27 April!
