Thanks

A conference the size ofCppCon doesn’t just happen. There area lot of heroes thatwork hard to make this happen. You’ll find many of their names onourstaff page which lists theorganizers,program committee,volunteers, andvendors.

You’d find more names (and faces) onthepresenters page for this year’s conference which lists presenters from theMain Program,panels, Poster Program,Open Content sessions, andlightning talks.

As much as all of these people work hard so that we are providingthe best that we can intechnical content,food,production values,live music,comfortable ambiance, andsupportive environment, none of those is the most important part of CppCon.

Returningattendees know that the mostimportant part of CppCon is the opportunity toengage with the attendees (including thepresenters), who are tackling some of our mostchallenging problems, withcreative and innovative techniques, usingpowerful tools provided byC++ andthe C++ community.

Above, you’ll see the faces of the mostimportant part of CppCon, theattendees. (I’ve not matched faces to the registration list to verify that no one is missing, but I think most of us are in the photo.)

This year, more than any other, you areall myheroes.

I look forward toseeing you allnext year.
