This is the last announcement for the conference that relates to its content. The last talk, the last thing to announce. So, who is holding the keynote, and what can you expect from the closing keynote at Meeting C++?

This years closing keynote will be held by Tony van Eerd, who has already spoken at several boostcon/C++Now conferences, and is a long time member of the boost community. He has worked with C++ for over 20 years, and is an active member of the C++ Committee. Most of that time has been in the graphics/video/film/broadcast industry, writing low level pixel++ and high level UI libraries. Lots and lots of UI, lots and lots of libraries. He now works at BlackBerry, stewarding the aesthetics of the BlackBerry APIs. He is also the company-wide "C++ guy" writing half of his code in emails and wiki pages. This year he spoke about "low level threading with C++11" and "Non-allocating future/promise" at the C++Now conference in Aspen.

His keynote has the title "Aesthetics. UI. C++."

And he gave the following Haiku as a hint:

smile the senses
expose functionality
what are these symbols
