We are looking for a thematic session provided by the community for the community. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work and connect with fellow AWS enthusiasts from the New Zealand AWS community. 

Whether you're an AWS-certified professional, a developer, or a researcher, we want to hear from you. Share your case studies, deep-dive technical sessions, or hands-on workshops with our audience and help them learn and grow.

We welcome sessions around these themes:

Note -  All submitted talks must be directly related to AWS, whether they highlight AWS services, architecture patterns, or real-world use cases built on AWS.

While you’re welcome to include third-party tools or services in your presentation or demo, they should support or extend AWS use cases. Sales or vendor-focused pitches will be regrettably declined.
