CppCon 2026

The Red Rocks & Dinosaur Ridge Museum Field Trip.
Details are here.
A separate registration is required for this event.

For those who've registered for this year's Field Trip, let's meet up in Rockies Square.

Rockies Square is behind the Convention Coffee shop "the Cocoa Bean", convention center level 2.

The tour bus will meet us outside of this area 11:15 - 11:30. Don't be late!

We should return to the hotel around 17:00.

Tee Shirt Night is our way to helping you get to know other conference attendees even before the conference has officially started. It works best if you brought a C++ (or CppCon) shirt with you. But even if you didn't you can join the fun.

Here is how:

1. Put on your C++ or CppCon shirt (or don't, if you didn't bring one).
2. Go to any of the Gaylord Rockies eateries (except Hickory House).
3. Look for others wearing a C++ or CppCon tee-shirt.
4. Ask to join their group.
5. Enjoy getting to know other attendees before the conference starts!
6. Get a special offer from the restaurant!

Follow the crowd immediately after the opening keynote to be in the conference photo. Be part of conference history!

Photo will be taken by CppCon's official conference photographer, Jonathan Phillips.

Join the Hudson River Trading team for a networking social to unwind, connect, and continue the conversations of CppCon 2026.

Enjoy complimentary cocktails and bites.
Connect with HRT recruiters and members of our technical teams.
Discover the exciting work we’re doing at the intersection of software engineering and finance.

As a CppCon sponsor, we’re excited to host this event to learn more about you! Space is limited, so please RSVP. All are invited, but those who RSVP in advance will enjoy expedited entry. 

Join us for the Women++ Networking Breakfast!

Kick off CppCon with a relaxed breakfast for women and LGBTQIA+ professionals on Tuesday,
September 15, from 07:00–09:00.

Meet fellow C++ engineers over coffee, breakfast, swag, and light activities designed to spark
meaningful conversation before the conference begins.

Sponsored by Seven Research, the event will also offer a chance to learn how C++ expertise
can make an impact in quantitative finance.

Please RSVP early so we can plan breakfast and swag for everyone.

infrastructure built for speed, precision, and robustness.

Our quants work on complex market problems, developing models, signals, simulations,

build the technology that powers that research and execution, from low-latency C++
systems to simulation platforms, high-performance computing, and tools that accelerate
the entire research process.

If you’re interested in solving hard problems alongside a close-knit technical team in a

Take a break from the sessions and join fellow C++ community members
for lunch and conversation.

The Qube Research and Technologies team will be there throughout. Come say hello and chat with
them about opportunities at QRT and what it's like to work on C++
there.
