Trip report: Meeting C++ 2025 -- Sandor Dargo

cippi-me-meeting-cpp2025.JPGWhat a year I had! One more conference, one more trip report! I had the chance to go to Meeting C++ and give not just one but two talks!

Trip report: Meeting C++ 2025

by Sandor Dargo

From the article:

I remember that last year I said that Berlin in November is the perfect place to have a conference because you want to be inside that four-star hotel and not outside. This year, the conference was held a week earlier, and the weather was so nice that it was actually tempting to go out and explore.

But people resisted the temptation. The lineup and content were very strong — this year there were more than 50 talks across 5 different tracks. Also, Meeting C++ is a fully hybrid conference, so you can join any talk online as well.

It might sound funny, but I must mention that the food is just great at Meeting C++. It’s probably the conference with the best catering I’ve ever been to — from lunch to coffee breaks, everything was top-notch.

This year, there were no evening programs. I’m not complaining; it’s both a pity and a blessing, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. For example, when I first attended C++ On Sea, there were no evening events, and I really enjoyed discovering Folkestone in the evenings. Over the years, the schedule there got extended, and sometimes I had no time to visit my favorite places. But at least some socializing was guaranteed. One can say that you can do it on your own, but many of us are introverted, and if we’re not forced to socialize, we just won’t. That’s even easier to avoid in a big city like Berlin. I remember that last year I didn’t have time to go out until the end of the conference. It was different this year.

But let’s talk about the talks.

My three favourite talks

Let me share with you the three talks I liked the most. They are listed in chronological order...

 

Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++ -- Sandor Dargo

c++meetup_1022.jpegThe Budapest C++ Meetup was a great reminder of how strong and curious our local community is. Each talk approached the language from a different angle — Jonathan Müller from the perspective of performance, mine from design and type safety, and Marcell Juhász from security — yet all shared the same core message: understand what C++ gives you and use it wisely.

Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++

by Sandor Dargo

From the article:

More than a hundred people registered, and the room quickly filled up with local developers eager to hear three technical talks. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming — it showed the strength of the C++ community in Budapest. In 2027, even WG21 might come to Hungary!

The evening began with Jonathan Müller’s talk, Cache-Friendly C++, followed by my own session on Strongly Typed Containers. Finally, Marcell Juhász closed the event with an insightful and hands-on presentation on Hacking and Securing C++.

How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements -- Bartlomiej Filipek

filipek-howtoiterate.pngIn this final part of the tuple-iteration mini-series, we move beyond C++20 and C++23 techniques to explore how C++26 finally brings first-class language support for compile-time iteration. With structured binding packs (P1061) and expansion statements (P1306), what once required clever template tricks can now be written in clean, expressive, modern C++.

C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

In part 1 of this mini-series, we looked at the basics of iterating over a std::tuple using index_sequence and fold expressions. In part 2, we simplified things with std::apply and even created helpers like for_each_tuple and transform_tuple.

So far, we used C++ features up to C++20/23… but now, in C++26, we finally get language-level tools that make tuple iteration straightforward and expressive. In this article, we’ll explore two new techniques:

  • Structured bindings can introduce a pack - P1061 - turn a tuple into a pack of variables.
  • Expansion statements P1306 - the ultimate “compile-time loop” syntax.

 

Celebrating C++’s 40th birthday at C++ Day in Italy

This year marks C++'s 40th anniversary, and at C++ Day 2025 (a proper "wrap-up post" will follow in the next days) we couldn't let the occasion pass without a little celebration!

While there wasn't a cake, we gathered everyone to sing "Happy Birthday, C++":

 

 

Followed by a lively game that mixed 1980s pop culture, ISO C++ trivia, Bell Labs history, and more:

 

  

Over 160 people joined the event, with about 120 staying until the end to play and win some unique prizes: 1980s-style posters featuring movie quotes reimagined with a C++ twist:

 

And we had a winner!

 

 

Also we ran a raffle including all quiz participants:

 

 

The posters also decorated the venue all day long, giving it a warm, retro, and festive feel:

 

 

It was a small but heartfelt way to celebrate four decades of a language that continues to inspire and evolve.

 

Here's to the next 40 years of C++!

Releasing the 5th Track for Meeting C++ 2025

Meeting C++ hosts a new track in Berlin this year, offering 4 tracks onsite

Releasing the 5th Track for Meeting C++ 2025

by Jens Weller

from the article:

I am excited to announce that with the recent changes to the schedule, Meeting C++ 2025 has now 5 tracks: 4 onsite and 1 online track. This new track is possible thanks to better funding from sponsors and exhibitors enabling even more C++ content at Meeting C++ in Berlin.

For onsite attendees there is a new batch of hotel tickets and team tickets available. The current hotel ticket batch sells until Mid October.

Trip Report: CppCon 2025 -- Sandor Dargo

bjarne-rock-cppcon2025.jpgA long-delayed dream finally came true: after years of near-misses and lessons learned (“better to be invited than sent”), I made it to CppCon—and it was bigger, louder, and more inspiring than I imagined. In this recap I share the vibe of the week, five standout talks and ideas, a few notes from my own session, and links to recordings as they appear.

Trip Report: CppCon 2025

by Sandor Dargo

From the article:

CppCon is simply bigger than any other C++ conference I’ve attended. A massive venue packed with people and sponsors. I logged more than 10,000 steps on the very first day — without ever leaving the resort or going to the gym.

The whole experience felt like it was on another scale compared to European conferences (which I also love). But then again, that’s often the impression when you see something American from a European perspective, isn’t it?

I never would have imagined a C++ conference where a live band plays while Bjarne Stroustrup himself makes final checks before stepping on stage to deliver the opening keynote. Absolutely rocks.

Final call for sponsors for Meeting C++ 2025

With Meeting C++ 2025 coming closer, we're doing a last round of onboarding for sponsors

Final call for sponsors for Meeting C++ 2025

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With Meeting C++ 2025 just being 5 weeks away, I share a call for sponsors with you.

Maybe your employer is interested in being present as a sponsor at this years Meeting C++ conference? Have you thought about the possibilty that you could have your employer sponsor Meeting C++ 2025?

As an organization Meeting C++ gets its funding through sponsorship and ticket sales for the conference mostly.
