Don’t miss this chance to connect with AWS experts and industry leaders from around the world, exchange insights, and forge valuable connections. Registration is still open and attendees can download the AWS Events mobile app on iOS or Android to plan and make the most of their experience. We also encourage attendees to register for Visionaries in the Stadium kick-off party on December 2, 2024 at 5:30 PM. Can’t join in person? No worries – grab a free pass to stream live sessions online. If you’re new to re:Invent, here’s an overview of sessions types you can look forward to experiencing with us:
- Keynotes – Join in person or virtually and learn about all the exciting announcements.
- Innovation talks – Learn about the latest cloud technology from AWS technology leaders and discover how these advancements can help you push your business forward. These sessions will be live-streamed, recorded, and published to YouTube.
- Breakout sessions – These 60-minute sessions are expected to have broad appeal, are delivered to larger audiences, and will be recorded. If you miss them, you can watch them on demand after re:Invent.
- Chalk talks – Enjoy 60 minutes of content delivered to smaller audiences with an interactive whiteboarding session. Chalk talks are where discussions happen, and these offer you the greatest opportunity to ask questions or share your opinion.
- Lightning talks – These 20-minute focused theater presentations are dedicated to either a specific customer story, service demo, or AWS Partner offering. Audience interaction (such as Q&A) may be limited.
- Workshops – In these hands-on learning opportunities, in 2 hours, you’ll be able to build a solution to a problem, and understand the inner workings of the resulting infrastructure and cross-service interaction. Bring your laptop and be ready to learn!
- Builders’ sessions – These highly interactive 60-minute mini-workshops are conducted in small groups of fewer than 10 attendees. Some of these appeal to beginners, and others are on specialized topics.
- Code talks – These talks are similar to our popular chalk talk format, but instead of focusing on an architecture solution with whiteboarding, the speakers lead an interactive discussion featuring live coding or code samples. These 60-minute sessions focus on the actual code that goes into building a solution. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and follow along.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Las Vegas and help you unlock the full potential of AWS for your advertising and marketing workloads. See you all there!
