CppCon 2025 Trip Report

I spoke at CppCon 2025. This was also my first time ever attending CppCon. So I thought it might be nice to write a trip report on the subject.

Since this was my first time at the conference, there was a lot that was new to me so below I have split the trip report into some sections.

For those that want a TL;DR here ya go

1. My talk seems to have resonated with people and generated conversation
2. CppCon is fantastic in terms of the venue and content
3. AI is still shaping up to be something that will change the industry
4. There needs to be more game devs coming to conferences, and speaking at them.
5. C++26 looks amazing, and there are great wins to be had from Reflection and Contracts
