Please ensure that you fill out and stay within the 60 minutes of your time slot (90 minutes for keynotes). Break times are meant as break times, to give people the chance to change rooms and have a chat.

Community

Two great communities to get feedback for your planned talks are the #include discord (#speaking) and/or the C++ Slack (#speakerscorner).
