 **Description**: \\
+Executors (or schedulers) will be a base building block in C++
+for asynchronous and parallel work.
+Executors for asynchronisity are somehow similar to allocators for containers:
+They are a very important implementation aspect, but for most people they
+are hidden behind the scene.\\
 \\
+Many programmers don't care more about executors as they care
+about allocators: they just take the default implementation and are
+generally happy with it.\\
+\\
+Developers concerned with performance however want to have a closer look
+to executors, to understand what different design dimensions exist for
+executors and what implications they have on performance and programming model.\\
+\\
+This talk will not only present the current proposal for
+addition of executors to C++, but also all the background and consequences
+of executors for the different (proposed and existing) C++ mechanisms for
+concurrency, parallelism and asynchronisity.\\
+\\
+Intended audience:\\
+This talk is for programmers and designers who are interested in some
+background for an asynchronous C++ world.\\
