Re:Invent Recap

AWS re:Invent 2026 Recap
Missed re:Invent, or still catching up on everything that launched? Join Trevor Roberts Jr. and David Ernst at the Tampa Bay AWS User Group on Thursday, January 14, for a recap of AWS re:Invent 2026, straight from two people who were there.

We'll walk through the biggest updates: what launched, what changed, and what it means for teams running workloads on AWS.

Trevor and David will also share their experience from the event itself: the sessions, conversations, and moments that stood out in Las Vegas, and which updates they'd try first. Bring a question, a launch you want to unpack, or a takeaway of your own.
