🎉 Join us for the Melbourne AWS User Group Meetup on Wednesday ,30 July! 🎉

As usual, we’re back on the last Wednesday of the month in the NAB Events Hub on 395 Bourke. But wait! This is not a usual event! This is meetup number 150!

We don’t have any talks lined up for this month, instead we’ll be celebrating! Some of you may remember the fun-filled event of Meetup 100, where we all huddled together on our laptops because of the lockdown. Well, we figured we’ve done that, so we’re not going to celebrate like that again. Instead, we’ll have tech, trivia, and treats!

💡 What’s On the Agenda?

  • What’s New in AWS – Hear directly from AWS about the latest launches and updates.
  • Trivia Time – Test your cloud knowledge in our AWS-themed trivia game (with prizes!)
  • 🍩 Donuts + Party Vibes – Sweet treats and a celebratory atmosphere to mark the occasion.

Whether you’re a long-time regular or brand new to the group, this is a meetup you won’t want to miss.

As a reminder, we will start with the food and socialising at 6 pm, but the actual contents of the meetup (and live stream) will begin at 6:30.

Our thanks to Mantel Group for their continued sponsorship.

The event will be streamed on YouTube as always, but you’ll miss out on the treats if you don’t come in person!


We are always looking for speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk hiding inside themselves. If you are interested in letting that talk out at a future event you can get in touch at the meetup, on the website (https://melb.awsug.org.au/speak/), or reach out to one of the organisers on our Slack.

Who we are

Founded in July 2011, the Melbourne AWS User Group is Australia’s oldest Amazon Web Services-focused user group, and the eighth oldest such group in the world.

From the original seven attendees in Melbourne’s York Butter Factory, we now regularly host hybrid meetups where we have a mix of in-person and online attendees. With over 5000 group members, we are amongst the largest city-specific AWS user groups in the world.

Organisers

With a combined experience with Amazon Web Services of far too many years, the organisers take care of the regular operation of the Melbourne AWS User Group. From liaising with sponsors, to arranging venues, speakers, and catering, as well as ensuring the smooth operation of the event each night. They have overseen well over a 100 successful AWS User Group meetups, with many more to come.
