AWS GameDay Nordics 2024 / Tampere

Join us for an intense evening with a mix of learning and competition – all in the AWS console!

AWS Community Nordics in collaboration with AWS is proud to announce our second AWS GameDay Nordics. Join us on this opportunity in a fun gamified learning and team building event focusing on AWS. Feel free to bring friends and colleagues and form a team with them.

The event is a Nordic-wide event and available to be joined by any AWS Community members at the following locations: Bergen, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Oslo, Tampere and Trondheim.

The event takes place on Wednesday November 6th 2024 at 17:00-21:00 (EET/Finnish time). Food/snacks/drinks will be provided before and during the event. We start the actual competition at 18:00 EET, time before that is used to get settled and grab something to eat.

The GameDay will be hosted by AWS Principal Developer Advocate, our very own Gunnar “Unicorn” Grosch.

IMPORTANT:

• Bring your laptop to the event! (You will use the AWS console and be given an account for the evening)
• You will work in teams (3-4 people), so feel free to form a team up-front with your colleagues or friends. Also attending without a team is totally fine, and we'll team you up with others before the start.
• You will compete against other teams in your user group and against the other user groups in the Nordics for approx 2.5 hours.
• We have prices for the best team(s).

What is a GameDay?
AWS GameDay is a gamified learning event that challenges participants to use AWS solutions to solve real-world technical problems in a team-based setting. Unlike traditional workshops, GameDays are open-ended and non-prescriptive to give participants the freedom to explore and think outside the box.

An AWS account is not required, one will be provided to your team on your welcome session on the day, but you will need a web browser with access to the AWS Console. It would be advantageous for you to be familiar with the AWS Console before you attend the GameDay.

More info about the case for the game to follow, but it will be security-themed.

Seats are limited for this event and remote participation isn't possible.
