From the article:

The next Meeting C++ online job fair is planned for October 14th & 15th, also I'd like to talk about the onsite job fair plans for Meeting C++ 2025!

If you have open positions you should advertise them in the bi-weekly Meeting C++ Jobs Newsletter, which now also powers the candidate listing of Meeting C++ with 80+ international candidates at the moment.

Planning a 5th track for Meeting C++ 2025

Meeting C++ is putting together a 5th track, which will feature onsite in Berlin

Planning a 5th track for Meeting C++ 2025

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I'm working on adding a 5th Track to Meeting C++ 2025 for onsite.

Already last year I've been thinking about this, but in the end its been to expensive to do, and hence only feasible with a large increase in onsite attendees. This year I'm able to go a different route through sponsorship, and thus for onsite the cost is covered by sponsors. Which in turn then also contribute talks. I hope that most talks will be in the schedule by October, and I plan to release the first talks in September for the new track. Right now the track is not visible in the schedule, as I don't want to add an empty track. We may also stream the online track into the conference in a room.

The voting on the talks for Meeting C++ 2025 has begun!

This week the voting for the talks at Meeting C++ 2025 starts!

The voting on the talks for Meeting C++ 2025 has begun!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Once again its time for the C++ community to take a look at the submitted talks for Meeting C++ 2025! Thanks to all folks who have submitted a talk to this years conference! Your contribution will create another great conference in Berlin and online! And special thanks to all folks who have bought tickets already for the conference, you'll have a bit more weight in the voting to shape this years program!

With your voting session you can contribute to the talk selection for this years conference. In total 107 talks are submitted by 73 speakers. With this year the call for talks closes earlier than in the past, when for a few years it had extended to match the submission date with CppCon. Since last year CppCon has moved its deadline into early/mid May, which is a bit too early. For the future I plan to have the call for talks close around the beginning of June. A period of 2 months to submit should be enough, also this allows for an earlier release of the program. This than gives speakers more time to get their talks ready and Meeting C++ more time to advertise the program...

Visit Meeting C++ 2025 with assistance and your wheelchair

by Jens Weller

From the article:

As you may not be aware about this opportunity, I wanted to highlight that the Vienna House Andel's Berlin Hotel offers accessibility rooms for those who need them.

Meeting C++ in Berlin has been visited by folks in wheel chairs, and I thought I highlight this possiblity. Recently when looking through pictures provided by my hotel contact, I've seen aboves picture of an accessible bathroom, which sparked my interest in finding out more about them. While I knew they existed, I didn't know the Hotel has actually 14 rooms of them, and that they each have a twin room for an assistant to stay. So if such a room is needed for your stay, wether you bring a wheel chair or not - now you know that its possible...
