The AWS DMV and Cleveland User Groups are soliciting speakers for our monthly events. We have a unique situation in that Cleveland is virtual and DMV is done IN PERSON at the AWS HQ2 offices. Past speakers have told us that they love being able to do the Cleveland talk first to get some feedback before doing their talk in person in DC. That is why we have combined this CFP. 

AWS User Groups are a place for AWS practitioners to increase their skills and network with their peers. Groups are run by volunteers and do not generate a profit. 

These User Groups are a great venue for new speakers as the community is interested in great content, not professional speakers. If you've done an interesting project on AWS or have an area of speciality, please submit your talk. 

PLEASE NOTE that you will need to get yourself to HQ2 for the in-person talk and that a lot of planning and sometimes money has gone into these events. If you commit to a date, we need you to show up and be prepared. 

The DMV User Group meets the 2nd Thursday of the month. The CLE User Group generally meets the 1st Thursday of the month, but has more flexibility since it's virtual. Dates are not available in months with industry conflicts (Jan = re:Invent re:Cap, June = AWS Summits & Midwest Community Day, Oct = DMV Community Day, Nov-Dec = re:Invent)
