Was not my experience at CppCon at least. In fact, the problem is usually that they are pretty pedestrian presenters and/or run out of time. But most clearly know what they are talking about. Maybe this is different at other conferences though.

I guess C++ is immune to hypes at this point. You can't bullshit your way through a topic where most of your audience probably has at least a decade of C++ experience under their belts.
