Speaker Session: Zero to Launch — From Side Project to Live Product

Got a project running on your laptop but not sure how to take it further? This workshop is for you.

Join us for a hands-on session led by Stephen Siegert, Senior Developer Advocate at Amazon Web Services, specializing in Agentic AI, AI builders, and developer experience.
We’ll walk through the full journey of turning a side project into a live product using Kiro — from early prototype to deployment. You’ll learn what it actually takes to move past “it works on my machine” and make your project accessible to real users.

What we’ll cover:

• Moving from local development to production
• Key steps in the product lifecycle
• Deploying and hosting your project
• Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
• How to think like a builder, not just a coder

Perfect for:

• Students working on side projects
• Anyone interested in cloud, AI, or startups
• Members preparing for internships or technical roles

Come learn from someone working directly at the forefront of cloud and AI, ask questions, and start thinking about your next launch! 🚀
