AWS Community Day Bay Area: AI Edition. Building the Future of AI.
About the event
The next AWS Community Day is here: October 13, 2026 at the AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco. Space is limited, so sign up fast. Important: How to register (2 quick steps):
1. Register on the AWS Builder Loft site (required for entry): [https://events.builder.aws.com/mevA9Z](https://events.builder.aws.com/mevA9Z) 2. Register on Luma (strongly recommended): [https://luma.com/acba2610](https://luma.com/acba2610). Luma is our community's home base, so that's where you'll get real-time updates, agenda changes, the event chat, and day-of logistics.
Loft registration gets you in the door; Luma keeps you in the loop.
Your RSVP here on Meetup helps us plan capacity, but it doesn't replace the two steps above. AI isn't just a trend. It's the new foundation of everything we build in the cloud, and the pace of innovation is accelerating. Join us for a day dedicated to education, hands-on learning, and community.
Why you should be there:
• Generative AI in Practice: Learn how teams are building real-world applications with Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, and the Strands Agents SDK • Agentic AI: Explore how autonomous agents are transforming workflows, and how to build them responsibly • Hackathon Finals: Watch the top 8 teams demo agentic AI projects built on AWS, live on stage • Expert-Led Learning: Technical sessions and discussions that go beyond the basics • The Bay Area Network: Connect with industry leaders and fellow builders shaping the next generation of the cloud
Whether you're an experienced architect or a cloud newcomer, join us for a day of networking, learning, and fun.
