Early each year since 2010, Herb and Andrei and I have looked at our schedules, constraints, and interests to determine whether a C++ and Beyond that year was compatible with everything else we wanted to achieve. For five years in a row, it was. This year, it looks like it won’t be.
Fortunately, the C++ event landscape is richer now than it has been in a long time, so while we’d like to believe there’s no other happening quite like C&B, we know there are plenty of technical events in 2015 that will fill the void. We encourage you to take part in them.
Will there be a C&B in 2016? We don’t know. That’s a question we won’t take up until early next year :-)

That’s a real shame! This would have been my first developer conference in 22 years! Could you recommend any alternative developer/C++ 2015 conferences that might be worthwhile, preferably in USA? Thanks.

The two conferences in the USA that immediately come to mind are C++ Now and CppCon. Both have very strong track records.

Wait, I thought CppCon was the one that was NOT happening in 2015. Have I got my wires crossed?

Yes. It’s C++ and Beyond that’s not happening in 2015. CppCon will take place this year.

Excellent! Thanks Scott.
