#17 AWS Community GameDay Europe

AWS Community GameDay Europe is coming!

We will join ~50 User Groups across Europe for a unique event: an international, synchronized AWS Community GameDay, powered by the European AWS community.

Join us for an intense evening combining learning, collaboration, and competition — get hands-on with AI, security and cloud-native challenges — no slides, no tutorials.
This large-scale, synchronized event is a unique opportunity to test your AWS skills in a fun, engaging, and hands-on environment.

Come with a friend, a team, or solo - we’ll form teams of 2 to 4 people on site.

What is an AWS GameDay?
An AWS GameDay is a gamified learning event where participants are challenged to use AWS solutions to solve real-world technical problems as a team. Unlike traditional workshops, GameDays are open-ended and non-prescriptive, giving participants the freedom to explore and think outside the box.

Practical information:

• Teams: 2 to 4 players — come with your team or we’ll form one on site
• Equipment: Your trusty laptop (internet connection provided)
• AWS account: Provided on site, no personal account required
• Game duration: Around 2 hour of competition between local and international teams
• Timing: This is a synchronized international event connected via a shared live stream across all participating locations. To ensure a smooth experience, the GameDay will start on time.

Who is this for?
The event is open to anyone with a general knowledge of AWS — no expert level required!
