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. Shipping one into production in hours is the real challenge. In this session, Richard will dissect the architecture and approach used at dtax, a project built and deployed at a 4 hour hackathon to help seniors get care with their voice. This includes Amplify, Bedrock, Cognito, DynamoDB and Lambda. 💡 **Pro Tip:** Arrive early to avoid queues and secure your seat for the sharing sessions!

**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
