Session type
Breakout Session
Lecture-style sessions that feature one or more speakers presenting on an educational topic. Breakout sessions include an optional group Q&A at the end as time allows.
Builders' Session
Small-group sessions led by one AWS expert providing interactive learning on how to build on AWS. Each builders’ session begins with a short explanation or demonstration of what attendees are building. There is no formal presentation; once the demonstration is complete, attendees use their own laptops to experiment and build with guidance from the AWS expert.
Chalk Talk
A highly interactive content format. Chalk talks begin with a short lecture delivered by an AWS expert, followed by an open-format Q&A session using a whiteboard to encourage discussion from attendees. Chalk talks foster technical discussions about real-world architecture challenges.
Code Talk
Engaging, code-focused sessions with a small audience. AWS experts lead an interactive discussion featuring live coding and/or code samples as they explain the “why” behind AWS solutions. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and follow along.
Dev Chat
Community-led sessions where attendees hear directly from AWS customers and AWS Heroes about how they are innovating, expediting, and scaling real-world solutions.
Keynote
A talk given by high-level AWS leadership and/or AWS Partners and customers that establishes an underlying theme.
Lightning Talk
Short and focused theater presentations that are dedicated to a specific customer story, service demo, or AWS Partner offering (if sponsored). Lightning talks are typically set up on a stage located in an Expo booth theater or other public space. As such, audience interaction such as Q&A may be limited.
Self-paced Labs
Your event registration gives you access to unlimited self-paced labs with support from AWS experts. These labs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, range in level from introductory to expert, and take approximately 40 to 120 minutes to complete.
Spotlight Labs

Workshops encourage interaction and provide attendees with opportunities to learn from and teach each other. Each workshop starts with a short lecture by the speaker, followed by solution-focused building. Additional AWS experts in the room make sure every group gets the assistance they need. Attendees must bring their laptops to participate.
