# Build AI Agents on AWS with OpenClaw: Hands-On Workshop

## AWS Brisbane User Group, 18th June 2026 🦞

You must register for this event using Luma, please register here.
This month we're going hands-on. Instead of talks, you'll spend the evening building real AI agents on AWS. Agents that summarise the news, draft messages, coordinate meetings, and keep an eye on your cloud infra. Bring a laptop, we'll bring everything else (AWS accounts included).

🛠️ The workshop: OpenClaw on AWS
OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent platform that runs on AWS and uses Amazon Bedrock for inference. We'll work through three modules: connect OpenClaw to email, calendar, and document tools; build a Daily Brief Agent and a Productivity Agent; then tackle Research, Business, Calendar, and CloudOps Agents as far as you get. It's all chat-based, no coding required.

📅 Date: Thursday, 18th June 2026
🕒 Time: 5:30pm to 8:30pm AEST (Workshop starts 6:00pm prompt, pizza around 6:45pm)
📍 Location: AWS Office Brisbane, L30, 300 George Street, Brisbane

🎁 What you'll walk away with:

• Hands-on time building AI agents on AWS with real examples you've driven yourself
• A clearer view of where self-hosted agents might fit (or not fit) for your team
• Special swag, just for attendees on the night

💻 What to bring:

• A laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux) and a modern browser
• No AWS account needed! Temporary AWS accounts are provided on the night
• No pre-work required, just turn up

🍽️ Food & Drinks: 🍕 Pizza and 🍺 beer on the night, plus plenty of networking with the Brisbane AWS community.
