By Daniel Bugarin, Program Manager – AWS
The AWS Ambassador Program is a vibrant worldwide community of technical experts, known as AWS Ambassadors, from our AWS Partner Network (APN) Services and Software Partners.
AWS Ambassadors are prominent leaders who are passionate about sharing their Amazon Web Services (AWS) technical expertise. They author blogs and whitepapers, create and deliver public presentations, contribute to open-source projects, and drive their organization’s AWS proficiency.
AWS Ambassadors evangelize AWS via social media and facilitate peer-to-peer learning by presenting at conferences, leading workshops, and hosting user group events. As a result of their membership in the AWS Ambassador Program, AWS Partner team members can gain advanced knowledge and sharpen their technical delivery best practices.
