Opening Keynote: Bjarne Stroustrup returns to CppCon 2026! 📣

We are thrilled to announce that Bjarne Stroustrup will be kicking off CppCon 2026 with a highly anticipated opening keynote in Aurora on Monday, September 14th!

Talk Title: Profiles for simplicity and guarantees

The C++ community is growing fast, and as C++ takes on more critical applications, the need for correctness, simplicity, and performance is paramount. In this talk, Bjarne will explore how we can teach new and old developers alike to achieve these goals through the "subset of superset" strategy.

He'll dive into the “Profiles” framework—a powerful way to require or suppress specific sets of guarantees (like initialization or invalidation profiles) through static analysis—all with zero run-time cost.
Join us as Bjarne flies us above the complex landscape of modern C++ and shines a spotlight on the most important things to think about in 2026.
Bring your questions, engage with the community, and don't miss out on what is consistently one of the most-watched talks in the C++ world!

📅 CppCon 2026: September 12–18
📍 Location: Gaylord Rockies, Aurora, Colorado

Registration is now open. Secure your spot and join us in September!

CppCon

Final Keynote: Herb Sutter at CppCon 2026! 📣

We are pleased to announce our final keynote speaker for CppCon 2026: Herb Sutter!
Herb is a Technical Fellow at Citadel Securities, designer of several Standard C++ features, chair emeritus of the ISO C++ committee, and chair of the Standard C++ Foundation.

Talk Title: C++: Growing in a world of efficiency, safety, and AI

C++ is acquiring major expressive power (like reflection) and addressing key weaknesses (like memory safety hardening) at the exact moment when chip supply and power budgets are raising the value of control over memory layout (space) and deterministic performance (time). In this two-part keynote, Herb explores this powerful convergence:

Part 1: The Latest in ISO C++ — A look at the completion of C++26 technical work (featuring reflection, initial memory safety hardening, std::simd, and std::execution) and the first additions to C++29. This includes a brand-new Annex cataloging core language undefined behavior to address UB systematically, alongside draft "profiles" targeted at C++29 for stronger, portable memory safety guarantees.

Part 2: Hardware, Capital, & AI in the Trenches — How massive capital investments in silicon and power generation, alongside the rise of agentic AI systems, impact C++ developers every day. Herb will dive into industry data (SlashData, IDC) showing sustained growth for high-performance engineers, the enduring legacy of performance efficiency, and a pragmatic look at where AI truly helps—and where it falls short.

(And throughout, we might hear a little grumbling from Herb about how he has always written his talk titles and abstracts using em-dashes, but now can't without people suspecting an AI generated it!)

Bring your questions, engage with the community, and don't miss out on what promises to be an unmissable closing keynote to round out CppCon 2026!

📅 CppCon 2026: September 12–18
📍 Location: Gaylord Rockies, Aurora, Colorado

CppCon are thrilled to welcome Susquehanna as our platinum sponsor!

Let’s hear more from them regarding why they are sponsoring CppCon:

Susquehanna International Group (“Susquehanna”), a global quantitative trading firm powered by scientific rigor, curiosity, and innovation, today announced its Platinum sponsorship of CppCon 2026, the premier conference for the C++ programming language taking place September 12 through 18 in Aurora, Colorado. This support represents Susquehanna’s deep commitment to the C++ systems powering modern trading and its continued investment in the broader computer science community.

Joining Susquehanna at CppCon will be Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup, renowned computer scientist and creator of C++. Dr. Stroustrup recently joined Susquehanna as a Technical Fellow, helping shape the optimization and evolution of the firm’s codebase.

“Solving complex problems at scale has always been the core of Susquehanna’s success, and C++ remains one of the foundational tools enabling us to innovate in this work,” said Soma Bockelman, Global Head of Technology at Susquehanna. “Welcoming Dr. Stroustrup as a Technical Fellow and supporting CppCon as a Platinum sponsor reflects our commitment to investing in the technologies, people, and ideas that will shape the next generation of high-performance systems. We are excited to contribute to the continued advancement of the C++ community while further strengthening the engineering capabilities that power our business.”

Keynote Announcement - Timur Doumler: “How C++26 changes the way we write code”

We’re pleased to announce our next keynote for CppCon 2026! Timur Doumler has been coming to and presenting at CppCon for years. He is a co-host of CppCast and an active member of the ISO C++ standard committee, where he is currently co-chair of SG21, the Contracts study group. Timur is also a former Program Chair for CppCon!

From Timur’s talk description: How C++26 changes the way we write code
The upcoming C++26 Standard is a major update of the language and one of the most impactful releases in the history of C++.

std::simd: Transforms high-performance C++ by raising vectorisation to a portable standard abstraction.

Contract assertions: Introduce scalable and configurable correctness checks for identifying program defects and making C++ code safer.

Sender/receiver execution library: A powerful generic framework that redefines asynchronous programming in C++.

Reflection: The most eagerly anticipated feature of C++26, profoundly reshapes how we reason about C++ and what we can accomplish with it.

This talk is the third installment in a popular series exploring how each new C++ Standard changes the way we write code—from everyday idioms to advanced patterns—with a practical focus on what matters most to real-world developers. This is not a firehose talk that tries to cram as many additions to the latest Standard as possible into one hour. Instead, we focus deliberately on just a handful of particularly impactful features and highlight the essential ideas every C++ developer needs to understand.

Registration is open so don’t miss out on CppCon 2026 this September 12-18. Register today! cppcon.org/registration/
