We’re at the beginning of a fantastic week at CppCon 2026 in Aurora, Colorado! The energy here is incredible. Along with great talks from C++ experts, we’ve had social events 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 profiles, 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! 😉
