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...

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...

Looking for Employers for the Meeting C++ Job Fair and the C++ Jobs Newsletter

Meeting C++ is looking for C++ Employers, as it starts a C++ Jobs Newsletter and hosts an online C++ Job fair in May!

Looking for Employers for the C++ Job Fair and the C++ Jobs Newsletter

by Jens Weller

From the article:

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.

 

The first Meeting C++ trainings in 2025

With the success of the trainings after Meeting C++ 2024, I've decided to offer more opportunities for you to learn C++. Klaus Iglberger starts next week with C++ Software Design.

With these trainings following in March:

    Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto with Nicolai Josuttis (10th March, 1 day)
    Embedded C++ Basic Training with Richard Kaiser (10th March, 4 days)
    C++ Fundamentals You Wish You Had Known Earlier with Mateusz Pusz (13th March, 2 days)
    Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++ with Nicolai Josuttis (17th March, 1 day)
    Introduction to C++ - Five Day Online Training with Slobodan Dmitrovic (24th March, 5 days)
    Structured Concurrency in C++: A Hands-On Workshop (Coroutines + Senders/Receivers) with Mateusz Pusz (24th March, 2 days)

My goal is to offer a good set of trainings within a certain time frame each quarter with changing trainers. Ideally all within one week, but that doesn't match out all the time.
