Start: 2023-06-28T18:00:00+10:00
End: 2023-06-28T20:00:00+10:00
Location: NAB Events Hub

June is here! Sunshine, warmth, and lovely weather. If you're on the other hemisphere. As we're not, we can just enjoy a great meetup ourselves. So, with that your next best chance is on 28 June when we're back at our usual location of the NAB Events Hub on 395 Bourke Street.

As a reminder, we will start with the food and socialising at 6 pm, but the actual contents of the meetup (and live stream) will begin at 6:30.
And as usual, I'd like to point out that if you are attending online only, please do not RSVP, as we use the RSVPs for catering purposes. Similarly, if you realise you can't make it after all, please change your RSVP as we don't want food to go to waste.

For the evening itself, after we've eaten and socialised, we have our usual intros and overview of the news. And after that we've got two great talks lined up. We'll start with Hilton Rosenfeld who will talk about AI as an API. This is followed by Bharat Wadhwa talking about AppStream. And, of course, we'll finish the night with our Who's hiring segment.

Our thanks to [CMD Solutions](https://cmdsolutions.com.au) for their continued sponsorship.

See below for the full agenda. The event will be [streamed on YouTube](https://melb.awsug.org.au/live) as always:

\# AWS AppStream 2\.0

\* Bharat Wadhwa

Level 100

During this talk, I will provide an overview of AppStream and highlight its key features and benefits. I will also showcase a real-world example of how AppStream helped a customer overcome a complex business challenge and save valuable time and resources. The case study will provide practical insights and actionable takeaways that attendees can use to improve their own workflows and achieve similar results.

We are always looking for speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk hiding inside themselves. If you are interested in letting that talk out at a future event you can get in touch at the meetup, [on the website](https://melb.awsug.org.au/speak/), or reach out to @arjen or @bok on our Slack.
