👋 Hello AWS User Group Community! Join us on Wednesday, 29th April 2026, for our April meetup at the AWS Singapore Office, IOI Central Boulevard! Our speakers will share their experiences and insights from modernizing existing applications, designing enterprise agent architectures, and taking generative AI ideas from prototype to production.

Registration Information** To ensure a smooth check-in process, please take note of the following: ✅ ✅ Confirmed attendees will receive a confirmation email before the event titled *"**AWS User Group Singapore: Registration Confirmed for AWS User Group Meetup – April 2026**."* You must present this email at the Level 1 Concierge to gain access to Level 5 for attendance verification. 🚶 Walk-ins (those without a confirmation email) will only be considered if the venue has not reached full capacity. Priority will be given to registered attendees with confirmation emails. 🔒 Strictly enforced: No confirmation email = walk-in. Entry not guaranteed. 📅 **Date:** Wednesday, 29th April 2026 🕡 **Time:** 6:30 PM 📍 **Location:** AWS Singapore; 2 Central Blvd, IOI Central Boulevard East Towers, Level 5 🎤 **Meetup Track** **✅ Evaluating GenAI Applications in Production with AWS Bedrock Evaluations** **📌 Speaker: Vishesh Kumar, Principal Architect, AWS** Without evaluation, all GenAI is "taking shots in the dark." Learn the six criteria for effective GenAI evaluation frameworks and how Amazon Bedrock Evaluations bridges the PoC-to-production gap with built in and custom metrics. **✅ Solving Real-Life Problem using Agentic AI and AWS cloud** **📌 Speaker: Senthil Baskaran, Emerging Technology Architect** Parents in Singapore receive dozens of school event PDFs via ParentsGateway each term and manually re-entering every date, time, and location into their calendars is tedious and error-prone. One PDF upload, two taps, and every event is in your calendar — that was the goal. School Event Processor — an AI-powered web app that extracts calendar events from school PDF letters and adds them directly to Google Calendar. Built with Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet 4.5), OpenAI GPT-4o as fallback, NextAuth v5 (Google OAuth), pdfjs-dist for client-side PDF rendering, and AWS Amplify for hosting, the app was designed to solve a common, everyday pain point for parents. **✅From Idea to Interactive Map: Building AWS Community Globe** **📌 Speaker: Jagateesvaran Rajoo\, Software Engineer \| AWS Cloud Club Core Team at SIT** In this session, Jaga will share the story behind AWS Community Globe, an interactive project designed to make it easier to discover AWS Community Heroes, Community Builders, User Groups, and Cloud Clubs around the world. He will walk through the idea behind the project, how he designed and built the experience, the tools and technologies used, and some of the lessons learned while turning a simple idea into a working community discovery platform. 💡 **Pro Tip:** Arrive early to avoid queues and secure your seat for the sharing sessions! Additional Highlights: 🍕 Pizza Time: Begin your evening with some delicious pizza at 6:30 PM, courtesy of our generous sponsor, AWS. Vegetarian and halal options will be available. 🍻 Post-Meetup Networking: Stick around for casual networking over drinks. Let’s forge new connections and continue the conversations! 🎁 AWS Swag & Promo Codes: Don’t miss the chance to win exclusive AWS swag and promo codes.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
