Opening 2025 Keynote: Bjarne Stroustrup, prerelease

We’re in the middle of a fantastic week at CppCon 2025 in Aurora, Colorado! The energy here is incredible. Along with great talks from C++ experts, we’ve had social events (special thanks to think-cell, HRT, and QRT) and panels, including our annual Committee Fireside Chat where attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from C++ standard committee members.

This year’s opening keynote was delivered by the creator of C++ himself, Bjarne Stroustrup. His talk was a deep dive into concept-based Generic Programming, a topic that’s central to the future of the language. For more details, you can visit the original keynote announcement.

For a limited time, we’re giving you exclusive access to the keynote video. This “prerelease” can’t be found directly on our YouTube channel, so we’re providing a direct link here only. Feel free to share this with colleagues and friends and impress them with your insider access! 😉
