Healthcare & Life Sciences at re:Invent 2022- Industry Attendee Guide

Celebrating its 11th year, AWS re:Invent 2022 is gearing up to deliver a week of inspiring content, educational workshops and boot camps—all with plenty of peer-to-peer networking opportunities. This year’s conference will take place in Las Vegas, NV from November 28th through December 1st, and will have an engaging virtual component for those who cannot join us in person.

AWS re:Invent 2022 will offer hundreds of sessions, with more than 30 focused on the healthcare and life sciences industries. You’ll learn how AWS experts and breakthrough leaders across healthcare providers, academic research, pharma/biotech, and medical devices are using cloud technology to transform their businesses and innovate on behalf of patients.

If you are in the health industry and are looking to participate in re:Invent 2022, be sure to do the following:

  • Visit the re:Invent website for everything you need to know about re:Invent.
  • Review the AWS for Health Attendee Guide for information on the healthcare and life sciences focused sessions, workshops, resources, and networking events to help you plan your agenda.
  • Drop by the AWS Health Industry Networking Lounge in Caesar’s Forum Main Hall to network with your peers, meet AWS technical and industry experts, see demos of our latest launches, and collect your limited edition Health pins designed by pediatric patients from Children’s National Hospital.

If you’re new to re:Invent, you can attend sessions of the following types:

  • Keynotes – Join in-person or virtual, and learn about all the exciting announcements.
  • 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 – 60-minutes of content delivered to smaller audiences with an interactive whiteboarding session.
  • Workshops – Hands-on learning opportunities where, in the course of 2 hours, you’ll be able to build a solution for a problem, 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 less than 10 attendees. Some of these appeal to beginners, and others are on specialized topics.
