ConanDays Madrid 2020: an international gathering of the Conan C and C++ package manager community
We are excited to share the first international gathering of Conan C/C++ Package Manager users at ConanDays 2020, Madrid!
The Event
ConanDays is a technical event, bringing together all worldwide Conan users to share their experiences and contribute to the future of Conan. It will take place in Madrid, Spain, on March 19-20, 2020.
The Talks
This community event will mainly be composed of technical talks by Conan users, sharing their knowledge. All 45 minute talks are expected to be fully technical and useful, providing deep insights of techniques, tools, and solutions for C and C++ building and packaging.
Topics covered will include: Integrations, challenges, lessons learned, scaling Conan, binary compatibility, build-systems, cross-building, continuous integration, onboarding, open source, community efforts and more.
Want to share your knowledge with the community? If you’re using Conan, then you should submit a talk! Our Call for Speakers is open.
You’ll also get a chance to get insights directly from the Conan founders and maintainers and find out about the history and exciting future ahead.
Hands-On Technical Training
The first day will start with three different 3-hour hands-on technical training. Including: Conan introduction for beginners, helping those starting out get the most out of the rest of the conference, and Conan advanced topics for more savvy users, introducing some of the latest and greatest Conan features. Additional training will also be available, please submit your ideas to us and stay tuned for new training announcements.
The Future of Conan: Listening to the Tribes
This will probably be the most important session of the conference. All attendees will be working in groups for a couple of hours around hot topics according to their preferences. This is an opportunity to discuss problems, put in common solutions, future challenges, and more interestingly provide feedback to help prioritize the future evolution of Conan.
The Evening Event
Conan Barbarians also need to eat and have some fun! All coffee breaks and lunches are included in the conference. There will also be a dinner, followed by fun social entertainment. This is a great opportunity to meet and greet other Conan users, contributors and maintainers in a nice atmosphere and enjoy some fresh air and fun activities.
