AWS User Group UK Meetup #75
Details
Join us on Wednesday, 14th January 2026 for our first meetup of the year: an AWS re:Invent 2025 Recap & Discussion.
NOTE: REGISTRATION ENDS ON THE MONDAY 12th OF JAN. We need to provide numbers to the venue 48 hrs in advance.
re:Invent is always packed with announcements, deep dives, and more sessions than any one person can keep up with. This event is your chance to cut through the noise and get a recap from our very own community organiser - Jon Topper.
What to expect
- The announcements and topics he found most interesting
- The things that didn’t live up to the hype
- Real-world thoughts on what’s useful now vs. “maybe later”
- How some of the new services/features might affect the way we build on AWS
Rather than a one-way “lecture,” we want this to be interactive and conversational, so after Jon’s recap, we’ll open things up with:
- Share your own highlights (whether you attended in person, watched online, or just followed the news)
- A chance to discuss what your teams might actually adopt in 2026 – and what you’ll probably ignore
If you’ve ever finished re:Invent week thinking, “OK… but what really matters for us?” this is the session for you.
Whether you’re brand new to AWS or very experienced, you’re welcome – just bring your curiosity and your questions.
RSVP to secure your spot, and feel free to share this event with colleagues.
As always, there will be networking with drinks and food after the main sessions.
A big thank you to our sponsors The Scale Factory and Cloudscaler. And thank you to Vorboss for hosting us!

18:00: Arrival, registration
18:15: Talks start
20:00: Networking with food and a drink provided by the generosity of our sponsors.
