Details
Hello AWS enthusiasts!
I am excited to invite you for our AWS Community GameDay Europe 2026 at Adesso!
Join us for an intense evening combining learning, collaboration, and competition — all inside the AWS Console.
AWS User Groups from Europe, in partnership with AWS, are proud to present AWS Community GameDay Europe. This large-scale, synchronized event is a unique opportunity to test your AWS skills in a fun, engaging, and hands-on environment.
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.
🧩 A custom set of challenges makes this GameDay one of a kind.
Get hands-on with AI, security and cloud-native challenges — no slides, no tutorials.
