With this announcement the keynotes for this years Meeting C++ conference are complete!

Announcing the 3rd Keynote for Meeting C++ 2025: its Anthony Williams!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Today I have the honor to announce that Anthony Williams completes the keynotes for Meeting C++ 2025!

Anthony Williams is well known for his book "C++ Concurrency in Action", has been an active in the committee through the BSI since 2001. He is well known for his work on concurrency and one of the architects and implementers of std::thread and other concurrency features in C++. He gave an An introduction to multithreading in C++20 at Meeting C++ 2022 in the online track. I am looking forward to welcome Anthony in person in Berlin this year!

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...

 

Team tickets and asking questions for Meeting C++ 2025

Two news items for Meeting C++ 2025, introducing team tickets and adding questions to the ticket ordering process to know your t-shirt size and more.

New Team Tickets for Meeting C++ 2025

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I'd like to make it easier to send your team to Meeting C++ 2025 with offering a team ticket.

I can't really break with the 1:1 relation between a ticket and its attendee, but I can offer a ticket...

Asking questions with the tickets for Meeting C++ 2025

by Jens Weller

From the article:

There is an update I've made to the tickets for this year, adding Questions that you may answer when registering for Meeting C++ 2025.

This years conference keeps me busy right now, but I quickly wanted to bring you an update on the ticktes. For the first time Meeting C++ includes a few questions with the registration for attendees. This way we get more accurate data on, but also for the attendees...

 

 

 

Visit Meeting C++ 2025 with assistance and your wheelchair

Sharing an opportunity for those needing assistance to travel and lodge: the conference hotel of Meeting C++ has special rooms for you!

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...

 

Learn about generic programming and concepts, views & ranges with Nicolai Josuttis

By Meeting C++ | May 15, 2025 04:21 AM | Tags: training meetingcpp c++20

Meeting C++ is hosting two trainings on the 26th and 27th May with Nicolai Josuttis:

May 26th: Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto

Generic code is key for the success of C++. Almost all parts of the C++ standard library are implemented as templates and with auto. However, the uncertainty when seeing this code and when writing own code is high.

This online training will guide you through the most important elements of generic programming for ordinary application programmers. Based on the general approach for function templates and class templates we cover the more tricky topics like non-type template parameters, variadic templates and fold expressions, class template argument deduction, type traits, and SFINAE.

This can be used as perfect base for the training about C++20/C++23 concepts, which are covered in a training the day after.

 

May 27th: Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++

Concepts, ranges, and views, introduced with C++20 and extended with C++23, introduce a new way of programming with C++:


    Concepts establish a way to deal with requirements and constraints to simplify overloading and improve error messages of generic code. This sounds simple but changes the way we write code significantly.

    Ranges and views establish a new way to deal with collections and containers. Instead of using begin() and end(), we deal with the collections as a whole. This establishes new ways of data processing (such as defining pipelines) but also introduces new pitfalls and caveats.


Both features were designed together so that they benefit from each other:


    Ranges and views are implemented using concepts to behave well and help with their usage.

    As a consequence, standard concepts were designed according to a real non-trivial application of using them.


This full day tutorial guides you though these new features. The features are motivated and explained so that you understand purpose and design as well as how to use them in practice. This also implies to talk about the most important pitfalls (there are several) so that you avoid wasting time or getting even frustrated by unexpected behavior or strange errors.

 

You also can get both as two in one package.

Meeting C++ launches a new jobs newsletter! Share your open positions!

The jobs newsletter already has 1500+ subscribers and aims at a bi-weekly schedule, with sometimes being weekly when lots of jobs are submitted. Once a month Meeting C++ will also send the jobs newsletter on its main newsletter with 25k+ subscribers in 2025. So your open positions will be seen by lots of experienced developers.
