CppCon 2026 Registration is Open

Posted on 2026-03-162026-03-15 by cppcon

Registration is now open for CppCon 2026, an all-in-person conference being held at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado. (We’ll have some online classes, but conference sessions will be onsite-only, recorded, and posted to the CppCon YouTube channel.)

Maximize your conference experience with the comfort and convenience of staying onsite at the official CppCon hotel.

With your stay at the Gaylord Rockies, receive up to five days of lunch vouchers (one for each night of your stay, up to $30 per lunch) and free high-speed WiFi throughout the conference site. The same high-speed WiFi available in your room is also available throughout the entire conference space.

These benefits are exclusively for attendees staying at the Gaylord Rockies.

Just register for the conference and book a room in your name at the Gaylord Rockies. See the registration page for details.

Registration details are available on our registration page, but the high points are:

Substantial savings are available for Early Bird registrations through June 26th.
The conference is onsite, but CppCon Academy will offer both onsite and online classes.
We are also offering an Economy registration that doesn’t include the “Meet the Presenters” Banquet, annual tee shirt, CppCache credit, or souvenir that are included in Regular registration.
We have a reduced price option available for full-time students.
In order to comply with various government regulations requiring that all event registration costs be included in the up-front prices, we have raised our registration prices to cover the credit card and event registration fees. While we previously disclosed up front that those fees existed, they were not included in the listed prices and that caused some confusion. The 2026 costs are roughly equivalent to the final costs with fees in 2025.
For one week only, we are offering Super Early Bird pricing, an extra $100 off the Early Bird rates, only through March 22nd!
