\"Boost<\/p>\n

Boost C++ Libraries<\/h1>\n

Where the next generation of C++ takes shape<\/h2>\n

For more than a quarter century, Boost has set the standard for C++ library engineering. We’re a collection of free, peer-reviewed, portable C++ source libraries maintained by an open community of world-class engineers. From high performance containers and networking to numerical computing and coroutines. Smart pointers, filesystem, regex, variant: they became part of modern C++ because the Boost community built them first and proved they belonged there.<\/p>\n

Come Find Us At CppCon<\/h2>\n

We’ll be in the Boost Lounge upstairs. Come for the games, the film premiere, and the announcements. Stay because you won’t want to leave.<\/p>\n

\n

\n Relax in the Boost Lounge<\/strong>
\n Our home base at CppCon. Sink into a couch. Challenge someone to Pac-Man or Space Invaders. Grab a latte from our barista (all day). Munch on popcorn. Watch live interviews with Boost developers. Or just sit and talk code with people who actually wrote the libraries you use.\n <\/p>\n

\n Play the Boost CCG<\/strong>
\n The beloved Boost playing cards are back with an official release and expansion. You can even find an exclusive 2026 starter deck<\/i><\/strong> in your CppCon swag bag for this collectible card game along with trading cards featuring your favorite libraries. We’ll be announcing sessions where you can come learn to play – so don’t miss out. Challenge a library author, trade for a rare Beast card \u2014 and do it all before decks run out.\n <\/p>\n

\n Learn from Boost developers<\/strong>
\n Catch talks from Vinnie Falco and other contributors. Attend the Boost update session for news you won’t hear anywhere else. And watch for a few surprises we’re still cooking up.\n <\/p>\n

\n Meet the people behind the code<\/strong>
\n Special guest interviewees will appear live in the lounge. Ask your questions, share how you use Boost, or just listen in. No stage. No filter. Just real talks with the real people who build the foundation of modern C++.\n <\/p>\n

\n Watch the Boost Documentary (world premiere)<\/strong>
\n A feature-length film about the history of Boost and the C++ Standard Library. Wednesday evening in the main conference room.<\/i><\/strong> Stay after for a Q&A with the director. This is the first time anyone’s told this story on screen. Don’t miss it.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
