Workshops

The workshops are two-hour hands-on sessions in which you work as a team to solve problems using AWS services. Each workshop starts with a short talk (10-15 minutes), and the rest of the time is devoted to group work. These workshops offer scenarios to encourage interaction.

Chalk talks

Chalk talks are a highly interactive content format with a small audience. Each one starts with a short talk (10 to 15 minutes) given by an AWS expert, followed by a question-and-answer session of 45 or 50 minutes with the audience. The objective is to encourage technical discussion around real-world architecture challenges. Chalk talks last one hour and contain expert-level content presented by AWS experts.

Builders’ sessions

These are 60-minute small-group sessions, with up to six participants per table and an AWS expert, who is there to answer questions and provide advice. There is only you, your laptop and the AWS expert. Each builders’ session starts with a brief explanation or a demonstration of what you are going to build. There will be no formal presentation. Once the demonstration is over, you use your laptop to experiment and build with the AWS expert.
