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.
