AWS re:Invent

AWS re:Invent 2025 takes over Las Vegas from December 1-5, transforming multiple venues into the world's largest cloud computing conference. With 65,000+ attendees from Fortune 500s to startups, this is where the future of AI infrastructure, serverless computing, and cloud innovation gets defined by the platform powering half the internet.

Adam Selipsky's keynotes pack the arena as AWS announces services that instantly become industry standards. From new AI chips that outperform GPUs to managed services that eliminate entire job categories, the announcements ripple through tech news for months. Live migrations of petabyte-scale workloads demonstrate capabilities that redefine what's possible.

The scale is staggering with 2,500+ sessions across five venues connected by dedicated shuttles. Builders' sessions provide hands-on keyboard time with solutions architects, while chalk talks offer intimate discussions with principal engineers. The certification lounge helps thousands advance their careers with on-site exams and expert guidance.

Innovation shines in the expo hall where 500+ partners showcase integrations with AWS services. Startup central features unicorns-in-the-making, while enterprise booths demonstrate how companies like Netflix and Airbnb scale globally. The Builder's Fair gamifies learning with challenges that teach architectural best practices.

Networking reaches epic proportions with the re:Play party taking over the entire Las Vegas Festival Grounds, featuring A-list entertainment and unlimited food from celebrity chefs. Midnight Madness sessions, poker tournaments, and affinity group meetups ensure connections happen around the clock in ways only Vegas enables.

Attendees leave with architectural blueprints, cost optimization strategies, and early access to services that won't go GA for months. The Vegas setting amplifies everything - from the scale of announcements to the energy of 65,000 builders united in transforming how the world computes.
