What we’re about
G'day!
The GoldCoast AWS User Group is a community based group of entrepreneurs, developers, business and IT people who are interested in Amazon Web Services. We provide an opportunity to see the latest developments in the world of Amazon Web Services and provide real examples and case studies of how local and international businesses are using AWS so you can learn from their experiences (and mistakes!) so we can apply the same techniques and solutions within our own business or project.
Please invite anyone who may be interested in coming along and learning more about AWS. Share your knowledge and experience, and connect with other local cloud users.
Pizza and drinks are provided at most of our Meetups, so join up and come along.
If you are interested in speaking at one of our Meetups, feel free to message the leadership team to organise a date for your presentation.
