AWS re:Invent bills itself as “the most transformative event in tech”, inviting participants to “get inspired and rethink what’s possible”. It’s been around for 10+ years, and it focuses on all things cloud computing. Which is to say: every angle of technology.
Interestingly, re:Invent is also the name of a 37-story office building at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle. Which came first? The building only opened in 2019, and it was named after the already-established event. Our guess is the views here are pretty amazing.
AWS re:Invent is your best opportunity to get hands-on access and learn from AWS experts. No matter if you're a certified AWS expert or a newbie, all are welcome here to pick up new skills, explore new use cases, and, ultimately, learn about the latest in all things AWS.
Wondering who attends this event? The better question might be who doesn’t attend it. Beyond the great Amazon community itself, you can expect to see employees and fans, booths, and networking opportunities from all the biggest names in tech (and tons of smaller ones too) including Cisco, PwC, Infosys, and yes, Splunk!
The global cloud community has been meeting at re:Invent for 10+ years in order to network, get inspired, and imagine innovation. Attendees at re:Invent can expect all sorts of programming, including:
