Annual free two-day engineering conference for the Velox open-source execution engine (Presto C++/Prestissimo, Apache Gluten for Spark, AI/ML data loading, hardware acceleration), held in the Bay Area at IBM Silicon Valley Lab (2024) and Meta HQ (2025, 2026). A separate one-day VeloxCon China started in Beijing in December 2025 (id suffix 'china'). The 2024 edition was billed as the '2nd annual' and 2026 as the '4th annual', implying a 2023 first edition, but no page, recording or announcement of a 2023 VeloxCon could be found (veloxcon.io has no archive before 2024), so no 2023 edition is recorded. No dedicated social accounts; recordings are in YouTube playlists (listed in other_social).
