AWS User Group Cape Town

AWS User Group Cape Town is the Mother City's home for everyone building on Amazon Web Services, run by the community, for the community, as part of AWS Community South Africa (NPC), and one of 590+ independent AWS User Groups worldwide.

Our purpose
We exist to make cloud knowledge accessible in Cape Town. Every meetup is a space for peer-to-peer learning: real technical talks, live demos, hands-on sessions, and honest conversations about what works (and what doesn't) in production, followed by time to network with people who do this work every day.

Who should join
Developers, architects, DevOps and platform engineers, data and ML practitioners, security folks, students, career-switchers, and anyone genuinely curious about cloud computing. You don't need to be an expert. Some of our best questions come from first-timers. What matters is that you're here to learn, share, and engage with the community and our speakers.

Why join
Learn AWS from practitioners, not marketing slides. Meet hiring managers, mentors, and future colleagues in Cape Town's cloud industry. Get speaking experience in a friendly room. First-time speakers are actively encouraged. Connect to the wider AWS community: AWS Heroes, Community Builders, AWS Community Day South Africa, and Cloud Clubs at UCT, Wits, and UWC. And yes, there is always good company.

Good to know
Our events are free, but registration is required, no RSVP, no entry, as our venue hosts need an attendee list for access and security. All events run under our Code of Conduct and Event Terms and Conditions. We keep this community welcoming, safe, and worth everyone's time.

Right of admission reserved.

We're an independent, community-led group, not operated by Amazon Web Services.
