AWS Community GameDay

Represent 🏢 Bucharest at AWS Community GameDay Europe, which takes place on March 17th, 2026, simultaneously across 50+ European cities. Same challenges. Same clock. One pan-European leaderboard. It's organized not by AWS corporate, but by the AWS User Groups that run meetups in your city, which means it has a completely different energy than a polished conference session.

Before you walk in, a few things are worth knowing

• You don't need an AWS account. A sandboxed environment is provided on the day. You show up, you get credentials, you start building.
• You DO need a laptop. Charged. With your preferred browser and, ideally, the AWS CLI installed. That's the full tech checklist.

The formal event ends after roughly two hours. There's a closing ceremony, results are announced, and the live stream wraps up across all cities.

Pizza and beer will be available for everyone — and for the winners, 🏆 the prizes include:

• 1st place global winners will get: 1000$ AWS Credits, 4 Exam Vouchers, a unique AWS Community hoodie (limited edition only in EMEA), 4 GameDay Trophies, and customized medals/stickers
• 2nd and 3rd teams as global winners will get a unique AWS Community Hoodie and customized medals. AWS credits for each team member: 2nd place 100$ and 3rd - 50$.
