AWS Community GameDay Europe 2026 – Romandie

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.

** Practical information**

• Teams: 4 players — come with your team or we’ll form one on site
• Equipment: Your trusty laptop (internet connection provided)
• Food & drinks: Snacks, beverages, and a light meal available
• AWS account: Provided on site, no personal account required
• Game duration: Around 2 hours 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.
