CppCon 2026 Wrap-up and CppCon 2027 Dates!

The above photo is from CppCon 2026 by CppCon’s photographer, Jonathan Phillips. Not only do I want to share this brilliant photo, I also want to announce CppCon 2027 dates, September 18-24, 2027, save the dates now!

CppCon 2026 just wrapped up and was an amazing conference. For an early preview of what happened, see Bjarne’s keynote, the Language Designer Panel keynote, Timur’s keynote, Laurie’s keynote, and Andrei’s keynote.

Videos of all our other Main Program and lightning talk sessions will start to be published on our YouTube channel, one every business day, starting in November. If you create a (free) account on our Video Archive Portal, you’ll be able to see the videos as soon as they are edited and uploaded.

Trip Reports

I’ll update this post as trip reports are published. If you see a CppCon 2026 trip report published or you’d like your trip report to be included, please send us a note. You can see some short reports on LinkedIn and on X.

Thanks

A conference the size of CppCon doesn’t just happen. There are a lot of heroes that work hard to make this happen. You’ll find many of their names on our staff page which lists the organizers, program committee, volunteers, and vendors.

You’d find more names (and faces) on the presenters page for this year’s conference which lists presenters from the Main Program, panels, Poster Program, Open Content sessions, and lightning talks.

As much as all of these people work hard so that we are providing the best that we can in technical content, food, production values, live music, comfortable ambiance, and supportive environment, none of those is the most important part of CppCon.

Returning attendees know that the most important part of CppCon is the opportunity to engage with the attendees (including the presenters), who are tackling some of our most challenging problems, with creative and innovative techniques, using powerful tools provided by C++ and the C++ community.

Above, you’ll see the faces of the most important part of CppCon, the attendees. (I’ve not matched faces to the registration list to verify that no one is missing, but I think most of us are in the photo.)

This year, more than any other, you are all my heroes.

I look forward to seeing you all next year.

Conference Chair
