Re:Invent keynote live reactions + community talks

Welcome to the last AWS Usergroup Meetup of the year. It's re:Invent keynote night and instead of a traditional watch party, we're trying something different this year by coombining the livestream with talks from two community members.

The keynote starts at 17:00 and is 2,5 hours long and normally consists of bursts of exciting announcements mixed with customer stories. We'll stream the keynote from 17:00 and start talk #1 when the first customer story starts, sometime between 17:30-18:00.

After the first talk we'll have some food while we continue watching the keynote until the next customer story when we swap in our second speaker.

The timings may or may not work, but we'll have our very own AWS Hero, Jimmy Dahlqvist, in Las Vegas reporting directly from the keynote hall so we can catch up on what we've missed during the talks.

Intro: Main announcements during pre:Invent (10min)
Speaker: Lars Jacobsson (LinkedIn)

Talk 1: Unstruct: Unifying Unstructured Data for Sustainable E-Commerce (30 min)
Speaker: Hannes Gustafsson, Data Engineer, Circulate (LinkedIn)

How do you transform messy supplier PDFs, emails, and web data into a structured, actionable product catalog? Can large language models (LLMs) replace manual data entry for good? Join us to explore how Circulate's Unstruct microservice leverages AWS and LLMs to automate data ingestion at scale. Learn about the architecture, challenges, and real-world impact of this solution, and see it in action with a live demo!

Talk 2: Auditing and analytics with EventBridge and DynamoDB (30 min)
Speaker: Magnus Wahlstrand, Senior Backend Engineer at Elva, AWS enthusiast (LinkedIn, Blog)

Learn how to build an efficient auditing and analytics system using Amazon EventBridge and DynamoDB. We’ll cover some basic ways to decouple your micro services, how to track key events, and query your event table for insights using Athena.

Wrapping up:
Summary of the most exciting announements from the keynote followed by a kvist.ai quiz that will test you on them.

There will be light food and drinks provided by TD Synnex and Sigma Technology Cloud
