Releasing the talks for Meeting C++ 2025

Meeting C++ 2025 will be a great conference in Berlin and online (6th - 8th November), and with one of the strongest programs it ever had. Take a look at the talk listing. There is also an early version of the schedule available.

The conference will feature Keynotes by Anthony Williams, Frances Buontempo and James McNellis - plus 44 talks.

As the voting closed on Sunday, here are the top 10 voted talks:

• To Err is Human: Robust Error Handling in C++26 - Sebastian Theophil

• Seeing all possible paths forward - Hana Dusíková

• Code Reviews: Building Better Code and Stronger Teams - Sandor Dargo

• The Two memory Models - Anders Schau Knatten

• How to become obsolete: a guide to software engineering mentorship - Roth Michaels

• Branch Prediction: Lessons from the hot path - John Farrier

• Towards Safety and Security in C++26 - Daniela Engert

• The data-parallel types (SIMD) library in C++26 - Rainer Grimm

• The Code is Documentation Enough - Tina Ulbrich

• Range adaptors - 5 years after C++20 - Hannes Hauswedell

• Speed for free - current state of auto-vectorizing compilers - Stefan Fuhrmann

When you look at the schedule or talk listing you can see that this years conference features a lot of new speakers. The talks are a good mix of C++26/23/20 and general talks on C++ and connected topics.

I've reached an important milestone this week: releasing this years program earlier than in the last years. I've often extended the submission deadline to match with the one of CppCon, but CppCon has moved to an even earlier deadline. On the other hand I'd like to have the program available earlier, so its great to see that this has worked out.
