Our regular monthly meetup (on the last Wednesday of every month).

Arrive at 6:00 pm for food, beverages and hard-core racing action! Presentations kick off from 6:45 pm.

A huge thanks to our Gold sponsor Innablr (https://innablr.com.au) for making these events possible across 2019.

And to our silver sponsors AC3 (https://ac3.com.au/) for their presentation this month – a fantastic intro to Amazon Sumerian.

Don't forget if you can't make it on the night you can still watch the live stream: https://melb.awsug.org.au/live

This month we took delivery of our very own AWS DeepRacer track! So we're going to change the structure of the meetup around a bit and include some racing. If you've trained your own DeepRacer (https://aws.amazon.com/deepracer/) model on AWS' virtual track bring it in on a thumb drive (not USB-C) and try it out on our two DeepRacer cars!

Our second presentation this month is an intro to AWS DeepRacer as well, so if you haven't had a chance to check it out we'll give you all the tools you need to participate in future months.

# DeepRacer: From Start to Finish
- Arjen Schwarz

Level 200

DeepRacer! Miniature self-driving cars! What's not to love about it? In late April AWS released it for all of us to use, and now the User Group has its own track. To celebrate this I will give an introduction into the service: What is reinforcement learning? How do you build your models for the race? And most importantly, how do you then use this to race in the User Group league?
