C++Now, presented by Boost in-cooperation with the ACM, is an international gathering of C++ programmers. In 2013, the conference launched a Student/Volunteer Program to enable young coders to attend the conference. This year, we are again are inviting students with an interest in C++ programming to attend the May 12-17, 2014 conference in Aspen, CO as Student/Volunteers.

The program is an excellent way for students with any interest in C++ to learn about C++ and make lasting connections with the C++ community.

"Attending has truly been one of the most inspirational moments of my life. I had the opportunity to learn, socialize and have a great time in general. I hope to attend this conference yearly now and make a lasting impact in the computer science community." - Grant Mercer, 2013 C++Now Student/Volunteer.

"All of the attendees had knowledge to share. Although the talks can be seen online, nothing can compare to being surrounded by over a hundred C++ enthusiasts." - Alex Duchene, 2013 C++Now Student/Volunteer

Student/Volunteers will receive free registration. A limited number of applicants will receive stipends for travel expenses.

Volunteers will handle various tasks during the conference, such as assisting presenters, setting up presentation rooms, running A/V equipment and helping with the conference picnic.

Students from all fields of study are welcome to apply. However, this conference covers advanced C++ topics, and applicants should have ample experience with the C++ programming language and be familiar with general computer science topics.

Applications will be accepted until February 15th, 2014.

Application decisions will be sent out by March 18th, 2014.
