Next week, AWS will be in the Big Apple for the AWS Summit – New York! Startup Central will be featured at the summit and will once again be a place for startups to meet, hear tech talks by other startups, and also have access to startup experts to get answers to your trickiest questions and some 1:1 time. The intent of the booth is to provide those attendees who are looking to grow and develop their startups with a collaborative experience, by featuring opportunities to make valuable connections, ask questions, and gaining educational opportunities to learn.

This year’s Summit in New York will feature a few different areas, all aimed at providing startups with a beneficial place to meet and learn.

·         Startup Central: This is the main hub is a place where startups can meet, listen to talks by other startups, and get in-person answers to AWS technical questions. Please note that Startup Central will be located outside of the expo hall.

·         Ask a Startup Expert Bar: AWS startup experts will be onsite throughout the day to answer any technical questions you may have, whether they be product/service specific, or basic, foundational questions you may want clarification on. No appointment necessary!

·         Startup Talks featuring Hot Startups: Join us at Startup Central’s theater for a series of engaging talks from other startup companies’ CEOs, CTOs, and lead engineers. These talks will include information on various projects they’re working on, products/services they’ve used, and how they’ve leveraged AWS to ultimately find success. Featured startups include Zocdoc, Bustle, Redox, and more.
