This might be the first time we've had two events in one month! We have a special *second* March event with a panel of experts from Citadel Securities who will discuss what it's *really* like using C++ in financial systems. The event is timed to be just before the WG21 (C++ standards committee) meeting the following week, so we have some big visiting names. **Citadel Securities** will be hosting this one and providing a larger venue (the same place they hosted us last summer) with drinks and snacks. Thanks Citadel! **For this venue we need to collect full names and email addresses** so they can send you a QR code to get in. You will also be sent terms & conditions via Docusign. The data will only be used for this purpose and not published anywhere or used for other purposes. Please note that the QR code will be sent from **[notify@22bishopsgate.com](mailto:notify@22bishopsgate.com)** (a send-only address). If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at [cppldn.uk/speak](http://cppldn.uk/speak). **Here's the approximate schedule:** **18:30** *Doors open* **19:00** "Intro and news" - *Phil Nash* **19:10** Lightning talks * Timur Doumler – *C++26 contract assertions* * Gasper Azman – *std::execution* * Juan Alday – *Why C++ Is Critical to Finance* * Carl Cook – *C++26 and Low Latency Systems* * Herb Sutter – *Reflection + Totality of C++26 and Why it is an important release* **20:00** Panel Discussion Herb, Timur, Gasper, Juan and Carl stay with us for a panel, moderated by Allie Tamburro, on the topic of, "*What it’s really like using C++ in financial systems/industry"* **21:00** *Conclusion, and moving on somewhere else* \-\-\- **About the speakers** *Herb* is a technical fellow at Citadel Securities, designer of several Standard C++ features, and chair of the ISO C++ committee and the Standard C++ Foundation.

🤖 **Most AI writing tools keep you in a chat box. This talk is about what happens when you step outside it.** Led by **[Max Clayton Clowes](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxclaytonclowes/)**, afractional product manager, we'll look at how technical writers — regardless of coding background — can use Claude Code to work in a docs-as-code environment, extend their documentation tooling, and build workflows that hold their own standards over time. We'll cover: \- Why Claude without proper context is a frustrating experience and how Skills fix that \- How Claude Code enables technical writers to work with frameworks like Docusaurus without needing to be developers \- Building and extending documentation tooling — plugins\, components\, GitHub Actions — that most teams don't have the time or skills to build from scratch \- Using Claude Code to maintain docs at scale: auditing\, keeping content in sync with a changing codebase\, and automating the checks that keep quality consistent The talk is aimed at technical writers of all levels. You don't need to be comfortable in a terminal to get value from it — we'll show a clear path from the Claude web interface through to Claude Code, and you can engage at whichever level suits you. **Want to follow along?** Pick the level that works for you and get set up before you arrive: \- Web interface: A Claude account at claude\.ai\. Free tier is fine\. \- Claude Code: Download the Claude desktop app at claude\.com/download\. Requires a paid Claude plan \(Pro or above\)\. On macOS/Linux\, run *curl \-fsSL https://claude\.ai/install\.sh \| bash* to install. Windows users can download the installer directly. No other dependencies needed. Not set up? Everything will be on screen — you can explore at your own pace afterwards. **🗒️ Agenda** **When:** Thursday 19 March, from 6.30pm **Where:** The Gallery @ [The Corner](https://maps.app.goo.gl/C1iSyEeMffB7BZjf6) (42 Adler Street, E1 1EE) **What:** **18.30 - 19.00** Arrival **19.00 - 19.10** Welcome & Housekeeping **19.10 - 19.40** Part 1 of presentation **19.40 - 20.00** Break **20.00 - 20.30** Part 2 of presentation **20.30 - 21.00** Closing and networking *All times are approximate.* **📍 How to find us:** Enter the hotel, turn right and right again past the bar to find The Gallery meeting room.

**What is this?** Hi there! I am launching sessions to introduce architectural drawing in London; something that I found surprisingly rare. I understand how challenging it can be to master perspective, colour, and contrast, or to translate complex visual ideas into clear drawings, and I would love helping you navigate that process. This is more than simply a group of people sitting together sketching; I will guide and design the session to help you develop real drawing skills, monitor and give personal feedback. So whether you are an architectural enthusiast, have a passion for fine art or simply want to add a new skillset in a fun and welcoming atmosphere, I will be happy to meet you! **What to know!** 1. **Exact meeting point:** Shared with confirmed participants 48 hours before the session. The session will take place either in a nearby café or an open space depending on the number of participants. 2. The session runs with a **minimum of 3 participants**. If the minimum is not reached, participants will be offered a refund or a place in the next session. 3. Material provided. (but you are free to bring your own!) 4. **Tickets have to be booked in order to get the location!** Link to tickets: [BOOK YOUR TICKET](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985001835926?aff=oddtdtcreator) 5. Join the whatsapp Group for the event: [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LN2AOCzuh13G3ZQgeRrT3K?mode=hq1tsha) **About Me** My name is Nissam. I am an architect and illustrator in my free time. I hold an MA in Art and Visual Culture and also work as a drawing tutor. My drawings won two competitions in the UK for Earth Day 2023 and 2024, and were exhibited in King’s Cross and Angel. Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy creating a welcoming and supportive space where people feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and learning along the way. In art, mistakes are often part of the process. But once you master the fundamentals, drawing becomes more intentional; and that is when the real fun begins. Let me show you my world!

Event details coming soon! 🏃 This will be a run around Mayfair/Marylebone inspired by Apple Fitness+ Trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm who (in a post on X shared by Joz) ran the same area making the form of the Apple logo outline on Strava. We'll be looking to do something similar but as a group running at a pace where we don't drop anyone (unless enough people turn up to split into groups). Please bring appropriate clothing and footwear, and note this may be for more experienced members of the community that are already able to run. We’d love to see first-timers! All attendees must follow our [code of conduct](https://nslondon.com/coc). Probably meet for 11am somewhere on route, then starting maybe 5/10 mins later. The run might take us an hour depending on how busy some areas are, for example Oxford Street (!) and we're not expecting any personal bests either. We'll probably hang around for a coffee at a nearby coffee shop – feel free to attend for this portion, only the run, or both! More details coming soon. The weather seems favourable so far – high of 12°C and low of 5°C with Cloudy conditions, but this could change without warning. This is Joz's post: [https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246](https://x.com/gregjoz/status/2033543999240200246) Apple joins the TCS London Marathon as an Official Partner: [https://www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-marathon/article/apple-joins-tcs-london-marathon-official-partner](https://www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-marathon/article/apple-joins-tcs-london-marathon-official-partner)

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
