AWS User Group Vienna

Welcome to our next on site meetup!

AWS Community GameDay Europe is coming to Vienna!
We will join ~56 User Groups across Europe for a unique event: an international, synchronized AWS Community GameDay, powered by the European AWS community.

Join us for an intense evening combining learning, collaboration, and competition — get hands-on with AI, security and cloud-native challenges — no slides, no tutorials.

This large-scale, synchronized event is a unique opportunity to test your AWS skills in a fun, engaging, and hands-on environment.
Come with a friend, a team, or solo — we'll form teams of 2 to 4 people on site.

What is an AWS GameDay? A gamified learning event where participants are challenged to use AWS solutions to solve real-world technical problems as a team. Unlike traditional workshops, GameDays are open-ended and non-prescriptive, giving participants the freedom to explore and think outside the box.

🔧 Practical information

• Teams: 2 to 4 players — come with your team or we'll form one on site
