Meeting C++
Meeting C++ is an annual technology conference focused on the C++ programming language, software development practices, library design, and systems programming. The event brings together developers, maintainers, educators, and corporate engineers from projects and institutions across Europe, North America, and Asia, facilitating technical talks, workshops, and panel discussions. It emphasizes modern C++ standards, best practices, and real‑world applications in industry and research.
Meeting C++ centers on technical sessions covering C++17, C++20, C++23, and proposals toward future standards, while also addressing adjacent ecosystems such as LLVM, GCC, Clang, Boost, and STL. Regular topics include language features, template metaprogramming, concurrency, tooling, performance engineering, and cross‑platform development with frameworks like Qt and wxWidgets. The conference often features content related to major organizations and projects including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon Web Services, Mozilla, JetBrains, Red Hat, and NVIDIA.
Meeting C++ was founded in the early 2010s by community organizers and developers active in European C++ User Group communities, open source projects, and university research groups. Early editions drew speakers from institutions such as TU Munich, ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge, and companies like Google and Facebook. Over successive years, the conference expanded its scope to include workshops sponsored by vendors including Intel Corporation, ARM Holdings, IBM, and Oracle Corporation and collaborations with standards bodies like ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 and national standards committees.
The program typically includes keynote addresses, contributed talks, and hands‑on workshops on topics such as language evolution (linking work from ISO, WG21), compiler internals from projects like LLVM and GCC, and performance profiling using tools from Valgrind, perf (Linux), and VTune. Sessions often cover cross‑disciplinary applications involving ROS (Robot Operating System), OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and high‑performance computing on CUDA, OpenCL, and MPI. Panels and tutorials may reference best practices from organizations like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, GitHub, and Canonical.
Speakers have included language committee members and authors connected to projects such as Bjarne Stroustrup, contributors to Boost, principal engineers from Google, compiler engineers from LLVM and GCC, and academics from MIT, Stanford University, ETH Zurich, and University of Toronto. Presentations have covered proposals and implementations associated with constexpr, modules, ranges, coroutines, and reflection as well as practical talks on systems software from companies like NVIDIA, Apple Inc., Intel Corporation, and ARM Holdings. Workshops led by maintainers of CMake, Conan, vcpkg, and Meson have been recurring attractions.
Meeting C++ functions as a node in the wider C++ community ecosystem, connecting user groups, open source projects, academic labs, and corporate engineering teams. It has influenced library adoption, tooling choices, and training curricula at universities such as ETH Zurich and corporate learning programs at Microsoft and Google. The conference fosters interactions among maintainers of projects hosted on GitHub, GitLab, and SourceForge, and has facilitated collaborations between contributors to Boost, fmt, and spdlog.
The event is organized by a small team of volunteer and professional organizers who coordinate sponsorship, speaker selection, and logistics with partners including venue operators, regional user groups, and sponsors such as Intel Corporation, Red Hat, JetBrains, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Program committees typically include representatives from academic institutions, industry engineering teams, and members of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 community and WG21. Code of conduct, submission guidelines, and CFP processes are administered by the organizers with advisory input from senior engineers and community leaders.
Attendees range from junior developers and students to senior engineers, principal architects, and university researchers from institutions such as TU Munich, ETH Zurich, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and corporations including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple Inc., and NVIDIA. Participation formats include in‑person attendance, sponsor exhibition booths, lightning talks, and workshop seats; some editions have offered remote streaming and recorded sessions to accommodate international audiences. Networking events, birds‑of‑a‑feather sessions, and hackathons are common, enabling direct collaboration among contributors to projects like LLVM, Boost, CMake, and popular open source repositories on GitHub.
