AWS Summit New York City Agenda

Lecture-style sessions that feature one or more speakers presenting on an educational topic. Breakout sessions may include an optional group Q&A at the end as time allows.

Small-group hands-on sessions led by AWS experts providing interactive learning on how to build on AWS. There is no formal presentation; once the demonstration is complete, attendees use their own laptops to experiment and build with guidance from an AWS expert.

Highly interactive sessions that feature a short lecture by an AWS expert, followed by an open format Q&A using a whiteboard to encourage discussion. Chalk talks foster technical discussions about real-world architecture challenges.

Highly interactive, code-focused sessions where AWS experts lead a discussion featuring live coding and/or code samples as they illuminate the ‘why’ behind AWS solutions. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and follow along.

Hands-on sessions where attendees work under the guidance of AWS experts to build a solution using AWS. Each workshop starts with a short lecture by the speaker, followed by solution-focused building support. Attendees must bring their laptops to participate.

Community-led sessions where attendees hear directly from AWS customers and AWS Heroes about how they are innovating, expediting, and scaling real-world solutions.

Short, theater presentations dedicated to a specific customer story, service demo, or AWS Partner offering. Lightning talks are typically found in an Expo booth theater or other public space. As such, audience interaction such as Q&A may be limited.

Sessions led by an AWS Instructor. Hands-on, interactive learning covering a specific topic. Q&A throughout session with instructors. Examples: Spotlight Labs and SimuLearn.
