**[Confirmation email will be sent out by Tues, 24 March 12pm]** 👋 Hello AWS User Group Community! Join us on **Wednesday, 25th March 2026**, for our March meetup at the AWS Singapore Office, IOI Central Boulevard! 🤖This month’s meetup explores how builders are building **modern cloud applications with AI and generative AI on AWS**. 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. If you're experimenting with AI agents, exploring generative AI architectures, or simply curious about how others are bringing these ideas into real-world systems, this meetup is for you :) 📢 **IMPORTANT! 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 – March 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, 25th March 2026 🕡 **Time**: 6.30pm 📍 **Location**: AWS Singapore; 2 Central Blvd, IOI Central Boulevard East Towers, Level 5 🎤 **Meetup Track** ✅ **Modernize Existing Apps with Agentic AI - No Code Changes - Using AgentCore Gateway + Kiro Powers** 📌 Speaker: Badri Kesavan, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, Migration and Modernisation AWS ✅ **Architecture & Implementation: How to build Enterprise Agents using Strands?** 📌 Speaker: Chirantan Saha, Principal Consultant, Infosys Consulting This session is a practical, foundational guide to designing and deploying enterprise-grade AI agents using Strands Agents, an Open Source AI Agents SDK. The session covers the core architectural building blocks, implementation strategies, and integration patterns required to ensure scalability, security, and compliance in enterprise environments. It further explores how agent design can be aligned with business ROI, operational efficiency, and cost governance, enabling organisations to adopt AI agents in a sustainable and outcome-driven manner. If time permits, there will be a quick practical demo as well. ✅ **Idea to Production: Building Generative AI Applications in 4 hours** 📌 Speaker: Richard Lee, AWS AI Engineering Community Builder Building a generative AI prototype is easy.

After a high-octane session of vibe-coding, it’s time to go under the hood. Join us for an immersive workshop focused on the Gemini 3 series, the multimodal powerhouse driving the next generation of Agentic AI. Whether you’re looking to optimise Function Calling, master 1M+ long-context windows, or integrate Gemini’s reasoning capabilities into your production tech stack, this is where theory meets the road. **🛠 Bring Your Laptop!** This is a collaborative, live-demo breakdown. We’ll share real-world use cases, Agentic architectural patterns, and the "aha!" moments discovered during the morning build. It’s an open forum for developers, by developers, to discuss what’s actually working at the bleeding edge of AI in 2026. Leave the session not just with a project, but with the blueprint to keep building long after the day ends. ***Are you ready to stop using AI and start mastering it?*** #BuildwithAI #GoogleForDevelopers #GDGSingapore \-\-\- By attending this event, you acknowledge that you have [read and agreed to follow these security guidelines](https://bit.ly/devspace-security).

The era of wrestling with boilerplate and getting stuck in syntax loops is over. This morning is about reclaiming your creativity by using Gemini 3.1 to handle the heavy lifting while you take your place as the Conductor of the Code. If you’ve ever wanted to build a complex, agent-led application just by talking to your machine, this is your morning. **🛠 Bring Your Laptop!** This isn't a "sit back and watch" session. We want you in the IDE (AI Studio and Antigravity), hands on the keys, experimenting with Gemini 3.1 Pro and/or Flash-Lite to see how far your vision can go when friction is removed. We’re stripping away the grunt work so you can focus on what actually matters: the build. ***Are you ready to orchestrate the future, or are you still debugging the past?*** #BuildwithAI #GoogleForDevelopers #GDGSingapore \-\-\- By attending this event, you acknowledge that you have [read and agreed to follow these security guidelines](https://bit.ly/devspace-security).

**Continuous Glucose Monitoring: New Opportunities for Data-Driven Health Insights** Dr. Abhinit Kumar Ambastha Continuous glucose monitoring is transforming the way we understand metabolic health by providing detailed, real-time information on glucose dynamics in everyday life. Beyond diabetes care, continuous glucose monitoring offers new opportunities to study how glucose patterns relate to behaviour, lifestyle, and broader clinical outcomes. In this talk, Abhinit Kumar Ambastha will discuss how data science and machine learning can be applied to continuous glucose monitoring data to generate clinically meaningful insights. The talk will highlight the potential of wearable technologies to support earlier detection, personalised interventions, and a deeper understanding of human health. time: 7pm SGT Location: NUS - MD6 14 Medical Dr, #01-03, Singapore 117599 MD6-03-05 - CeTM - LEARNING RM (03-05) If you cannot find the room please reach out to +4369912068534 on whatsapp

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
