Workshops

Workshops are two-hour hands-on sessions where you work in teams to solve problems using Amazon services. Workshops organize attendees into small groups and provide scenarios to encourage interaction, giving you the opportunity to learn from and teach each other. Each workshop starts with a short lecture (10–15 minutes) by the main speaker, and the rest of the time is spent working as a group. There are additional Amazon and AWS experts in the room to make sure every group has the assistance they need. Come prepared with your laptop and a willingness to learn! We will provide any AWS credits you may need.

Chalk talks

Chalk talks are a highly interactive content format with a small audience. Each begins with a short lecture (10–15 minutes) delivered by an Amazon or AWS expert, followed by a 45- or 50-minute Q&A session with the audience. The goal is to foster a technical discussion around real-world challenges. Chalk talks are one hour long and contain expert-level content presented by Amazon or AWS experts.

Chalk talks have one main speaker and one or two additional Amazon and AWS experts who work through problems and solutions on a whiteboard as the discussion unfolds. This session type is new to re:MARS, so be sure and check them out and come with questions!
