The UK government‘s recent shift to Cloud Native has inspired new emphasis on adapting workflows to take full advantage of the cloud. To support public sector organisations in this initiative, we bring you the AWS Transformation Day – Public Sector, London.
Join hundreds of attendees from across local and central government, defence and national security, education, healthcare, and NGOs for an action-packed day centered on helping the public sector achieve more with the cloud. Whether your focus is business or technical, let AWS guide you along your digital transformation journey.

A keynote address will be delivered by Teresa Carlson, Vice President of the Worldwide Public Sector at Amazon Web Services, who will discuss our culture of innovation and how it translates into a competitive advantage for our customers. Additionally, you will hear from public sector customers who will outline how they’ve transformed their organisations with the cloud.
After the keynote, choose from eight breakout sessions covering content specifically designed for both technology and business decision-makers. Whether you care about the finances of cloud computing, or want to adopt security best practices, we’ll have a session for you:
