We are a community of C++ Software Developers, Architects, and Systems Designers based in the warm country of Armenia in the South Caucasus. We have great mountains, tasty wine, fantastic food, and a thriving tech scene, with R&D offices of software and hardware design giants and many startups, including unicorns!
The capital city has the highest density of tech. Yerevan hosts offices of Nvidia, AMD, Siemens, Synopsys, Yandex, EPAM, and DataArt, as well as ServiceTitan, Miro, PicsArt, Krisp, and Unum. So that is where we meet!
We meet once every few months. Most meetings have been recorded and are available on this YouTube playlist. We are always searching for new speakers. We prefer:
- 45m long presentations, but are flexible to include alternative formats.
- Talks are generally in English, but we also allow Russian and Armenian.
- Topics related to C/C++ or Systems Design.
If you have something matching those criteria, please complete this Google Form. And, of course, join the Telegram group for communication.
