Melbourne AWS User Group #133 - January 2023 re:Invent panel

As has become tradition, the first meetup of the year will be our re:Invent panel/recap event! Once again we have collected a group of wonderful people who attended re:Invent either in person or remotely and have opinions.

This group of amazing people is the same group as last year, but in alphabetical order they are:

• Bojan Zivic
• Dawn Cooper
• Matt Gillard
• Stephen Sennet

We will be asking them all the important questions, such as which announcements they think will have the biggest impact, or their favourite food in Vegas (well, maybe not that last one). Look forward to discussions and fun times as we use this format to break down all the important things from re:Invent.

But that's not all! In addition to that we also have the results of our re:Invent prediction game. If you joined in on that, this is the time where you'll learn whether you win some amazing prizes!

As it's the first meetup of the year, this is also where we let you know that we'll once again be hosted in NAB's fantastic Event Hub for 2024 so you don't need to figure out where to go.

As a reminder, we will start with the food and socialising at 6 pm, but the actual contents of the meetup (and live stream) will begin at 6:30.

Our thanks to Mantel Group for their continued sponsorship.

See below for the full agenda. The event will be streamed on YouTube as always:

We are always looking for speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk hiding inside themselves. If you are interested in letting that talk out at a future event you can get in touch at the meetup, on the website, or reach out to @arjen or @bok on our Slack.
