No slides. No lectures. You and your team get dropped into a live AWS environment, and things start breaking. Your job? Fix them. Fast. Think escape room meets cloud engineering. AWS put together a short [video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GJyaTUlZWu21ladTlWp13RZCesTeFZCs/view?usp=drive_link) that shows what a GameDay looks like in action -- hit play and see for yourself. Collaborate. Have fun. #AWS #Sarajevo #AWSCommunityGameDay #AWSCommunityEurope #AWSUserGroup #CloudTechnologies

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.

Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
