Registration for AWS re:Inforce 2019 now open!

In late November, I announced AWS re:Inforce, a standalone conference where we will deep dive into the latest approaches to security, identity, and risk management utilizing AWS services, features, and tools. Now, after months of planning, the time has arrived to open registration! Ticket sales begin on March 12th at 10:00am PDT, and you can access the ticket sales website here. We do expect to sell out, so please consider registering soon to also secure a hotel (as well as take advantage of our travel discounts). In celebration, we are offering a limited, while supplies last, $100 discount on the full conference ticket price of $1,099. Register with code RFSAL19 to take advantage of this limited offer.

The benefits of attending AWS re:Inforce 2019 are considerable. The conference will be built around gaining hands-on tactical knowledge of cloud security, identity, and compliance. Over 100 security-specific AWS Partners will be featured in our learning hub to help you tackle all manner of security concerns. Additionally, we’ll have bootcamps where you can meet with likeminded professionals to learn skills that are applicable to your individual job scope. More details about specific session offerings will be announced in the next few weeks, but you can already find details on the track types and session levels here.

Taking a step back for a moment, creating a conference focused on cloud security was important to AWS because, as we’ve often stated, security is job zero for us. While re:Invent is a great opportunity to check in yearly with customers on our new features and services, we felt a conference tailored specifically to cloud security & identity professionals offered a great opportunity for everyone to strengthen their own security program from the ground up. We’ll have four tracks, geared for those just starting out all the way up to next generation aspirational security. We want to be at the forefront of an industry shift from reactive to proactive security, and our inaugural re:Inforce gathering is a great chance for us to hear from customers about their real-world concerns, from encryption to resiliency. We also think building an ongoing community of security stakeholders is critical—we know that excellent guidance for customers doesn’t always come directly from AWS. It can also spring forth from peer conversations and networking opportunities. The strength of the AWS cloud is customers. Our customers see use cases every day that both inform our security roadmap and make our cloud stronger for everyone. Simply put, there is no AWS security story without the tremendous diligence of customers and partners. Creating a space where all parties can come together to exchange knowledge and ideas, whether in a formal session or at a casual dinner, was at the forefront of our thinking when we first considered launching re:Inforce. Seeing the threads and details come together on this re:Inforce has been personally exciting and professionally validating; I can’t wait to see you all there in late June.
