Cockroach Labs' CockroachDB user conference, first held in 2022 (no earlier edition). 2022 and 2023 were two-day events in New York (2022 at Cockroach Labs' headquarters). From 2024 it became a series of one-day city stops (id_suffix = city): 2024 Menlo Park, London, New York (free tickets); 2025 London, Bengaluru, Las Vegas (USD/GBP 149 passes, morning workshops); 2026 London only (hybrid, with a free livestream). Session videos are on cockroachlabs.com/roachfest/<year>/. No online-only edition has been held. Social links are Cockroach Labs corporate accounts; the event has none of its own. The former roachfest landing page now returns 404; per-city pages live under /roachfest/location/<city>/.
