What's New in Amazon S3: Capabilities for the AI Era

Find out how Amazon S3 now makes it easier to build AI applications, improve search results, and manage large datasets.
Join us as we explore six new S3 capabilities and how they will accelerate your cloud projects. We’ll connect the technical features to practical use cases for developers, cloud architects, and teams working with AI and analytics.

Topics we’ll explore:

• S3 Files: File-system access for applications and AI pipelines.
• S3 Annotations: Rich object context for AI agents and workflows.
• S3 Tables and Apache Iceberg V3: Managed tables and modern lake house capabilities.
• S3 Vectors metadata pre-filtering: More targeted retrieval for RAG applications.
• Account regional namespaces: Simpler bucket naming and automation across environments.
• Larger S3 objects: Opportunities for massive AI, scientific, and media datasets.

Bring your questions and a workload you’re thinking about building or improving. We’ll discuss where these capabilities fit, followed by Q&A and networking with fellow AWS enthusiasts.

Who should attend: AWS developers, architects, data engineers, AI builders, IT leaders, and anyone curious about S3’s evolving role.

No sales. No pitches.
Just shared learning, practical thinking, and open discussion.

### Networking & Community

Before and after the session, stick around to network, share ideas, and meet others building on AWS. Also, be sure to show up on time as there will be food and drinks for all who attend.
