What you should know about Meeting C++ 2026

This years Meeting C++ conference is at a unique date, as the conference kicks off on November 26th - you can visit the conference during Christmas time and stroll across a Christmas Market on the 1st Advent!

This is a rare thing to happen and a great experience to have! You should book your tickets early, as budgets likely get frozen later this year. Meeting C++ has made the tickets cheaper and the early bird tickets are just 899 €. You also can get a ticket which covers your hotel. Your visit to Meeting C++ in Berlin supports my work for C++ directly!

You can look forward to keynotes by Kate Gregory and Mateusz Pusz, the conference will feature 3 Tracks with 11 talks each onsite!

In the last week I've worked on the data of the Meeting C++ survey and the candidate listing, the emerging trends from this data will be presented at Meeting C++ later this year!

As Meeting C++ 2026 is on the 26th November and with C++26 being out in fall, the conference will offer lots of insights on the newest standard. For onsite attendees there will be a special Meeting C++26 t-shirt available, thanks to our t-shirt sponsor Hudson River Trading.

Call for talks

I'm wondering what folks should talk about this year? Is it AI? Is it C++26? There is already a great selection of talks submitted, but you should submit your ideas about C++ until June 4th with Meeting C++. Meeting C++ 2026 is planned with 4 tracks, and if possible will expand to 5 tracks like last year. Though this has to be supported through sponsorships and attendee numbers. 

Meeting C++ is looking for a diverse set of talks and speakers! You are very welcome to submit your talk to the conference, even if its your first time speaking! This years conference will be again hybrid, and its a great opportunity to give a talk and start speaking! Maybe you'd like to learn something new about C++ and like to present what you've learned about a feature of the standard, library or methology? And with Meeting Embedded being a part of Meeting C++, embedded talks are especially welcome!

If you are not able to come to Berlin, you still can submit your talk for the prerecorded online track. Meeting C++ will feature an online track of prerecorded talks.

Call for Sponsors

I'm looking for companies that would like to work with Meeting C++ and be present at the conference! I'd like to make sponsoring not only about the conference, but give sponsors the opportunity to be present through out Meeting C++. Sponsorships are an important part of the conference, with Meeting C++ giving a lot of reach into the C++ community.
