The Microsoft C++ team has an exciting lineup of sessions at CppCon 2020. Many of us will also be present at our team’s booth in the virtual exhibition hall throughout the conference. Come say hi and let us know if you have any questions about our talks, products, or anything else! We’ll be making a few exciting announcements about Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

We’re also running a survey on the C++ ecosystem and giving away five copies of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (one each day of the conference) to survey participants. If you have a moment, please take our survey, it’s quick.
