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](https://www.meetup.com/aws-user-group-bergen/events/304039399/), [Copenhagen](https://www.meetup.com/Copenhagen-AWS-User-Group/), [Helsinki](https://www.meetup.com/awsfin/events/304021380/), [Oslo](https://www.meetup.com/aws-user-group-norway/events/304055850/), [Tampere](https://www.meetup.com/AWS-User-Group-Tampere/) and Trondheim.

The event takes place on Wednesday November 6th 2024 at 1630-2000 CET. Food/snacks/drinks will be provided before and during the event. **We start the competition at 1700CET,** time before that is used to get settled and grab someting to eat. Webstep is sponsoring food and drinks.

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

**IMPORTANT:**

**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.

**This GameDay**
This AWS GameDay has tasks that are suited towards people with operations, architecture or development skills - though teams are not necessarily penalized if they are not strong in all of these areas. It has a heavy focus on security and vulnerability related tasks. The GameDay implements continuous scoring, where teams can lose points while deployed infrastructure is compromised, or while things are broken. The game is designed for players with general knowledge of the AWS platform and services, as well as interest in security.

Seats are limited on this event!
