👋 Hello AWS User Group Community!

Join us on Wednesday, 25th March 2026, for our March meetup at the AWS Singapore Office, IOI Central Boulevard!

Our speakers will share their experiences and insights from modernizing existing applications, designing enterprise agent architectures, and taking generative AI ideas from prototype to production.

If you're experimenting with AI agents, exploring generative AI architectures, or simply curious about how others are bringing these ideas into real-world systems, this meetup is for you :)
