Today I finally can officially announce Meeting C++ 2015! This years Meeting C++ conference will offer 2+ crazy fully C++ filled days in Berlin! Like last years conference, again in Berlin at the Andels Hotel on the first weekend of December...

Lets see the facts first:

Location

We will be again at the Andels Hotel. It has a very nice event area, very good modern rooms and a really nice bar for having a relaxed drink after the conference over Berlin. The layout of the conference will be almost like last year, we'll start with a opening keynote, and then follow with 4 parallel tracks of 7 talks each. The break area is like at the first year in the middle of the event area. Also lunch will be served at the event, so you have no need to leave the event for food.

Talks & Call for Papers

As mentioned, I plan to stay with the layout of last year, as I think it was very good. The talks will be 60 minutes each, the keynotes ~90 minutes. This years call for papers starts with today and ends at April 5th. After this the voting on all talks (title + description only) will take place, each attendee of Meeting C++ is able to vote within a 10 day period. The voting result then will guide me to decide which talks should make it to the conference.

This years theme track is "embedded and IoT", I am looking forward to a diverse set of embedded talks! So, submit your talk to Meeting C++ 2015! The call for papers will be open until April 5th.

Meeting C++ Student Program

Like last year, there is again a student program this year, I will announce the details later, but it looks that there are no big changes from last year: 50 Students will be able to visit this years conference! Students will be like normal attendees able to freely choose which talks they'd like to see. More Details on the student program later.

Tickets

Tickets are already available, you can order your early bird ticket simply by contacting me, or soon at the ticket shop on the website. This year there are 3 different ticket categories + the sponsored student tickets. The 3 ticket categories are:

The early bird tickets will be again available until the beginning of July, if not sold out earlier like last year. The normal ticket is available until mid October. After this only the late tickets are available, if the event is not already sold out again, the reason is simple: I have to make (and pay) a lot of orders (t-shirts, badges, hotel etc.) a few weeks before the conference, and those coming late I have to charge a little extra for the extra work that is generated by them. Also, as this was last year an issue for a few attendees: please make sure to have your tickets when you book your flights and hotel! Yes this happened to a few people, so check with your company if everything is correctly booked!

Sponsoring

There is a chance to present your company at Meeting C++! Sponsoring adds an extra value to the conference, the break area has space for several booths. Also Sponsors receive a 40% discount for joining the Meeting C++ Recruiting Service. Also I'm open to other sponsoring options like organizing evening events. Please contact me for further details on sponsoring.
