Pure Virtual C++ 2026, our free, one-day virtual conference for the whole C++ community, is live right now! Join hosts Mads Kristensen and Sinem Akinci for three hours of featured sessions, and real-time Q&A in the chat.

Watch live now → streaming on YouTube (Microsoft Visual Studio channel).

Bring your curiosity and your questions! Our hosts and speakers are in the live chat, so this is a chance to interact with the speakers directly.

Today’s live schedule

The broadcast starts now. Here’s the schedule:

Clarification: The event will be broadcast live only on YouTube

 The event will be broadcast live exclusively on YouTube, not on YouTube and Twitch as previously announced. I apologize for any inconvenience. 

More to watch on-demand

Beyond today’s live broadcast, a full set of on-demand sessions is already available: talks on vcpkg + Copilot CLI, VS Code CMake Tools, MSVC upgrades, C++23/26 status, SPGO, and more. They’re all in the same place as the live stream:

Can’t stay for the whole show? Every featured session will be posted on-demand right after the event, so you won’t miss a thing.

Enjoy the conference — see you in the chat!
