Last week, I got the chance to go to Berlin and participate in the 10th edition of Meeting C++ which is as far as I know the biggest C++ conference in Europe. Considering both the online and onsite participants, there were about 500 of us, eager to learn more mostly but not only about C++.

Trip Report: Meeting C++ 2024

From the article:

The conference was held in the East side of Berlin, in the Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Berlin Hotel offering some cool views of the city from its higher floors, especially from its sky bar. Not that we had a lot of time wandering in Berlin, the schedule was quite packed. Although the program only started around 9-10 AM depending on the day, the first two days the official program didn’t end before 10 PM.

Given the bit cold and cloudy weather, I realized that Berlin in November is really perfect for a conference. People will not be tempted to escape the venue for long walks outside. It just feels better to be inside.
