C++ Zero Cost Conf

returns as part of a new back‑end conference August 1, 2026, Belgrade, Moscow

Apply for a C++ talk

In 2026, C++ Zero Cost Conf becomes part of a major back‑end conference while retaining a strong, dedicated C++ track.

We are joining forces with new back‑end teams and expanding the format to talk not only about low‑level efficiency, but also about building high‑performance and reliable systems as a whole.
We'll be sharing more details about the program and each track soon.

We are looking for talks based on real engineering experience, including practical C++, architecture, infrastructure, performance, and in‑depth technical case studies.

The program will be published

We are especially interested in talks based on hands‑on engineering experience, with speakers who can explain how things worked in practice rather than just sharing theory:

Practical C++ and low‑level optimization
Server architecture and large‑scale systems
Performance, latency, and cost efficiency
Reliability engineering and incident analysis

Talk format

30- to 40-minute talk
10-minute Q&A session
Russian or English

The program committee can help you with talk structure, focus, and material preparation.
