AWS COMMUNITY DAY
MIDWEST | MILWAUKEE, WI
June 5th, 2025
About the Event
AWS Community Day | Midwest is an annual one-day, user-run AWS technical conference that is planned, organized, and delivered by AWS user group community leaders (much like a “Meetup of Meetups”). The goal of the Community Day is to facilitate the exchange of information amongst the AWS user community. The presentations are all given by speakers who are fellow AWS users sharing knowledge with their peers.
This year's event will be the 7th annual Community Day | Midwest and will take place in Milwaukee, WI at the Potawatomi Casino Hotel. It has previously been held every year since 2018 in Chicago or Columbus. We are excited to host it in Milwaukee for the first time this year!
AWS Usergroups
The Midwest AWS user groups are run by volunteers. We organize, coordinate and often speak at each event. Community events are free, open to the public and focused on all things AWS. We are not run by AWS, but frequently work with Amazon SAs and account reps.
Midwest UsergrouPS
Aside from the annual Community Days, many usergroups organize sessions on AWS topics throughtout the year. Find your local usergroup below and get involved!
