About the Event
Florida's First AWS Community Day
AWS Community Day South Florida is a full-day, community-led technical conference bringing together AWS builders, developers, architects, students, and cloud enthusiasts from across Florida and beyond. The event features multi-track breakout sessions led by members of the AWS community, hands-on learning, networking with local AWS User Groups, and direct conversations with AWS professionals.
What is AWS Community Day?
AWS Community Days are grassroots, community-organized events celebrating the builders and practitioners in the AWS ecosystem. Every session is presented by a community member — no marketing pitches, no vendor keynotes. Just practitioners sharing what they've learned with other practitioners.
Supported by the AWS Community program, Community Days happen worldwide — bringing cloud builders together at the local and regional level. South Florida's edition is the first of its kind in the state of Florida.
This isn't re:Invent. It's smaller, more personal, and entirely community-driven. The speakers are your peers. The conversations are real. And everyone in the room genuinely loves building on AWS.

The Format
Multi-track sessions
60-minute breakout sessions across 2–3 parallel tracks covering serverless, containers, security, AI/ML, cost optimization, DevOps, and more. Every session is community-submitted and peer-selected.
Hallway track
The conversations between sessions are often the best ones. With 300 builders in one building, the hallway track is intentionally built into the schedule — space, coffee, and time to connect.
Sponsor expo
Our sponsors are the companies and tools AWS builders use every day. Browse their booths, get hands-on demos, and bring home some swag — but the sponsors know this audience is technical, so expect depth over flash.
