CppCon 2026

CppCon 2026 brings together hundreds of C++ enthusiasts, industry experts, and community leaders for five days of immersive learning and networking in Aurora, Colorado. The conference features more than 100 sessions across five stages, including five keynotes and a historic Language Designers Panel with Bjarne Stroustrup (creator of C++), Guido van Rossum (creator of Python), and Mads Torgersen (lead designer of C#). This rare gathering of language architects promises insights into design philosophies, cross-language collaboration, and the future of programming.

Attendees can explore eight specialized focus tracks: Back to Basics, Business & Career Track, Embedded, GameDev, Robotics & AI, Scientific Computing, Software Design, and Tooling & Ecosystem. The event also includes panels, lightning talks, bonus sessions, and opportunities to preview the latest developments from the C++ Standards Committee. All conference sessions are onsite-only and will be recorded for later release on the CppCon YouTube channel.

CppCon fosters community engagement through volunteer opportunities, an Attendance Support Ticket program for underrepresented or financially constrained individuals, and a sponsored field trip to Morrison, Colorado, featuring Red Rocks and Dinosaur Ridge. The conference is also tied to the release of 'C++: The Documentary,' produced by CultRepo, with a world premiere and panel discussion involving key figures in the C++ community.
