AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog
Meet Our Newest AWS Ambassadors from 2Q 2022 and Explore the Latest Ambassador Activities
By Elaine Perales, Manager, Global Programs – AWS
The APN Ambassador Program is a vibrant worldwide community of technical experts, known as AWS Ambassadors, from AWS Partner Network (APN) Services and Software Partners.
AWS Ambassadors are prominent leaders who are passionate about sharing their Amazon Web Services (AWS) technical expertise. They author blogs and whitepapers, create and deliver public presentations, and contribute to open source projects.
Our Ambassadors evangelize AWS via social media and facilitate peer-to-peer learning by presenting at conferences, leading workshops, and hosting user group events. As a result of their membership in the AWS Ambassador program, AWS Partner team members can gain advanced knowledge and sharpen their technical delivery best practices.
