A near-record number of talk submissions, with the large majority of speakers asking to deliver their talks in person, on-site in Aurora this October:

Big Update with Big Thanks for a Big Program

by Jon Kalb

From the announcement:

The deadline for Main Program submissions has passed with a near-record number of submissions! ... We are excited both by the quality of the submissions and by the fact that that the vast majority of submissions were for onsite presentations.

... Our Program Committee is currently hard at work reviewing and rating each submission and we know that we’ll have an amazing program for both onsite and online attendees in Aurora in October. As you know, we’ve announced that Bjarne Stroustrup will be our opening keynote onsite... Creating multiple, thoughtful evaluations on almost two-hundred submissions touching on virtually every topic of C++ and software design in less than a month is a mammoth task, but we know that the CppCon 2021 Program that you’ll be seeing in Aurora and/or online, will be something that we as organizers, the Program Committee, and the presenters, will be proud to present.
