🔍 Session Highlight:

Playing with C++26 Reflection
Speaker: Amir Kirsh
C++26 brings static reflection to the language — a long-awaited feature that opens the door to advanced metaprogramming and cleaner compile-time code.
In this live session, Amir will introduce the new syntax, walk through practical examples, and spark a group exploration of what this feature enables in real-world use cases.

Impossible Types, Supernatural Guarantees
Speaker: Adi Shavit
What if C++ could verify the impossible, at compile time? This talk explores how to supercharge the compiler’s reasoning with constraints that go beyond the type system, turning assumptions, guidelines, documentation and best practices into compile time guarantees.

Site Protocols & Guidelines:

Weapons Policy: No weapons are allowed on-site under any circumstances. There are no exceptions to this rule. Anyone arriving with a weapon will be directed to the nearest police station (located near the Herzliya train station) to deposit it before being allowed entry.

Age Restriction & Registration: Entry is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. All guests must check in at the reception desk and present a valid ID. A visitor badge will be issued upon arrival and must be returned at the end of the day.

Escort & Meeting Point: As visitors require an escort to enter and exit the site, we will set a meeting point to ensure everyone has enough time to complete the registration process.

Site Movement: Please refrain from wandering the site independently. While guests are welcome to visit the barista and use the restrooms, staying within the designated areas is essential to avoid any security inconveniences.

Emergency Protocol (Siren): In coordination with our Safety Manager, the protocol in the event of a siren is to evacuate to the safe room (Mamad) on the 1st floor (where the conference is held). If the room is at capacity, the stairwell is the designated backup shelter.
