C++ Now! (formerly BoostCon) is pleased to announce its lineup of keynote
speakers for the 2012 conference: Howard Hinnant, Sean Parent, and Daveed
Vandevoorde.

Howard Hinnant is the principal author of libc++, the standard C++ library
implementation used by the Clang compiler.  During the development of C++11,
Howard served as chairman of the C++ Standards Committee=B9s Library Working
Group, and is largely responsible for the design of what Scott Meyers has
called the language=B9s =B3flagship new feature:=B2 rvalue references.  His
keynote will demonstrate how rvalue references are used in move semantics
and perfect forwarding.

Sean Parent is a principal scientist and software architect for Adobe=B9s
mobile digital imaging group and formerly managed Adobe=B9s Software
Technology Lab.  He was also the keynote speaker for the very first
BoostCon, where he gave one of the most inspiring and memorable talks we=B9=
ve
ever had.  We=B9re very pleased to welcome him back for an encore. He will =
be
speaking on what=B9s next for C++ programmers: how do we write beautiful co=
de
that truly exploits today=B9s hardware and infrastructure?

Daveed Vandevoorde is a compiler developer with Edison Design Group, the
author (with Nicolai Josuttis) of =B3C++ Templates: The Complete Guide,=B2 a
co-founder of comp.lang.c++.moderated, and one of the few C++ Committee
Members who is equally comfortable working on library design, language
evolution, or the arcana of core language issues.  Daveed is currently a
leader in the effort to add true modules to the C++ language.  He=B9ll be
talking about the design of the C++ modules feature and what it would mean
for the future of the language.

=B3We are thrilled to have such a powerhouse lineup in the first year of the
new language standard,=B2 said Dave Abrahams the conference founder and
co-chair. =B3C++Now! 2012 is truly shaping up to be a feast for the C++
enthusiast.=B2

C++ Now! 2012 will be held May 13-18 in Aspen Colorado. Registration is now
open at http://cppnow.org/registration/. Keynote details at
