I attended C++Now for the first time last year (2017), and it was a great experience! The talks were all excellent, but the best part was the interaction with other attendees. This is the conference to attend for an in-depth and technical C++ experience like no other.Bob Steagall

With a welcoming, collaborative, and ruthlessly technical atmosphere, C++Now caters to library designers, compiler nerds, mailing list junkies, and anyone interested in pushing the envelope of what is possible in modern C++. This is the coolest tech conference in the world.Barrett Adair
As a skiing addict I do not regret that the season is over in Aspen at the time of C++now. It is worth every minute spent there with leading C++ experts to learn from and work with.Prof. Peter Sommerlad

What makes C++Now conference unique is a free and brave look into the future of C++. While other C++ events are mostly focused on sharing knowledge about new but existing language features, libraries, tools and techniques, C++Now is all about C++’s future evolution.Anastasia Kazakova
