We are excited to see you all at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cppcon.com\">CppCon<\/a> this year, where <strong>we&#8217;ll once again be delivering a variety of presentations, from the latest advancements in debugging technology to extensibility frameworks for AI agents.<\/strong> See the end of this post for a listing of all of the sessions involving Microsoft staff. And yes, there&#8217;ll be plenty of information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/VS2026Insiders\">freshly announced Visual Studio 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ll also have a booth through the first four days of the conference.<\/strong> Come on by and let us know what matters to you or ask any burning questions you may have regarding C++ at Microsoft. We will be well stocked with our most popular swag, so come on by and have a chat with us. There may even be appearances by speakers in case you didn&#8217;t get a chance to ask that all important question after their session.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/cppcon\/blog\">annual survey<\/a> is now open and will be available all week throughout the conference. It&#8217;s super lightweight, and upon completion, CppCon attendees will be entered into a raffle for one of four great prizes. You do have to be onsite for the daily drawing to win (see <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/cppcon\/survey-official-rules\">official rules here<\/a>), but even if you aren&#8217;t going to be at the conference, you can still complete the survey to let us know what you think of our C++ products. <strong>New this year on the survey is an option to select a dedicated time to talk with Microsoft staff about the topics you care about.<\/strong> So, if you don&#8217;t want to lose your voice in a crowded expo hall you can find that right time that fits into your busy schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>Try out Visual Studio 2026 Insiders &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/vs\/insiders\">Get Started Here<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Visual Studio 2026 and MSVC Build Tools v14.50 Preview are already available on the Insiders Channel (which replaces the previous Visual Studio 2022 Preview channel), with a Stable Channel going live later in 2025. We want to hear from you at CppCon about your experiences with Visual Studio 2026 Insiders, so give it a spin and come chat with us about your experiences.<\/p>\n<h2>Talks from Microsoft employees (and friends)<\/h2>\n<h3 data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335562764&quot;:2,&quot;335562765&quot;:1,&quot;335562766&quot;:4,&quot;335562767&quot;:0,&quot;335562768&quot;:4,&quot;335562769&quot;:0}\"><span data-usefontface=\"true\" data-contrast=\"none\">Monday 15th<\/span>\u200b<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><a title=\"Original URL: https:\/\/cppcon2025.sched.com\/event\/27bQu\/building-secure-c++-applications-a-practical-end-to-end-approach.
