What we’re about
Welcome to the Northern Colorado AWS Meetup. We meet once a month at Wolverine Farm Publick House in north Fort Collins.
This is a group for anyone interested in learning more about the powerful features and services available with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This will be a great chance to meet up with other users, architects, etc. to learn (and teach!). Whether you're passionate about cloud computing or just curious, this is the place to scratch that itch.
We sometimes chat in the Northern Colorado Tech Meetups Slack group.
Whether you're new to AWS or a long time user, you're welcome to come out, learn some new things and socialize with other AWS enthusiasts and professionals.
