We’ve been taking RoachFest on the road for 2024. With a focus on resilience and scalability, we were thrilled to see the incredible turnout and engagement at Menlo Park and London in June.
Packed audiences have already heard incredible stories from Cockroach Labs customers, like Netflix, Riskified, Route, and Devsisters. To level up this conference series, we can’t wait to host the third and final stop in our New York City home base, where our headliners will include Microsoft, Global Payments, and City Storage Systems.
RoachFest is the event series made for application owners, data architects, and database administrators, engineers, and operators. Whether you’re eager to hear the latest about highly resilient databases or you’re already running your apps on CockroachDB, RoachFest is for you. Learn from the experts on mission critical systems through presentations, demonstrations, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities! Then cap off your busy day the right way with a well-deserved cocktail reception.

Your NYC MC is Chris Casano, Senior Director of Customer Engineering for the Americas at Cockroach Labs, who returns for the role after taking center stage in Menlo Park.
A major reason we love hosting RoachFest is the opportunity to bring data pros together IRL. Casano explained, “What better place to meet in-person than at RoachFest? It’s where you're going to find a lot of folks with common problems or common interests that you can collaborate on. RoachFest is a great venue to make your technical landscape better.”
