AWS re:Invent 2026

AWS re:Invent 2026 runs 30 November to 4 December 2026 across six Las Vegas venues — Caesars Forum, Caesars Palace, Encore, MGM Grand, The Venetian and Wynn. AWS lists more than 2,200 sessions, 70% of them interactive, in formats that include launch sessions, builders' sessions, ask-the-experts forums, 500-level deep dives, industry meetups, customer stories, working sessions and executive meetups; the first announced wave alone covers over 200 sessions across AI, security, migration and developer productivity, with generative and agentic AI called out as focus areas. The December 2025 edition drew roughly 60,000 attendees over four days and was dominated by agent announcements — three frontier agents for development, security and DevOps, AWS Transform, the Nova 2 model family, and P6e-GB300 and Trn3 UltraServers. Registration includes re:Play, the official party.

• ✓Chief Technology Officer
• ✓VP of Engineering
• ✓Cloud architect
• ✓Platform engineering lead
• ✓Head of Security
• ✓DevOps / SRE lead
• ✓Data and ML engineer
• ✓FinOps and cloud cost owner

If your estate runs on AWS, this is the week the next twelve months of your platform roadmap becomes visible, and the only realistic opportunity to put architecture questions directly to the service teams that build what you depend on. A CTO or platform lead should send engineers to the builders' sessions and 500-level deep dives rather than the keynotes, which stream free anyway. The 2025 edition made the case plainly: agents moved from demo to shipped product, and the teams who were in the room understood the operational cost model months before it reached general documentation. Book the $1,299 early-bird before 25 August — the standard rate is $2,499.

• ✓2,200+ sessions, 70% of them interactive
• ✓Builders' sessions and hands-on workshops
• ✓500-level deep dives
• ✓Ask-the-experts forums with AWS service teams
• ✓Launch sessions covering new service announcements
• ✓Industry meetups and executive meetups
• ✓Customer story and working sessions
• ✓re:Play, the official re:Invent party, included in registration
• ✓Certification exams and hands-on labs

• ★The single largest cloud event in the world — roughly 60,000 in-person attendees in 2025 — and the venue where AWS makes the bulk of its annual launches, so the roadmap lands here first
• ★70% of the 2,200-plus sessions are interactive (builders' sessions, workshops, chalk talks) rather than presentations, and 500-level deep dives go well past what any webinar covers
• ★Direct, scheduled access to AWS service teams, principal engineers and solutions architects — the people who can answer an architecture question definitively
• ★An early-bird rate of $1,299 against a $2,499 standard price is a 48% saving, one of the steepest advance discounts of any major tech conference
• ★Independent coverage of 2025 noted a real gap between announcement volume and novelty — many launches were incremental — so plan sessions around your own architecture questions rather than the keynote calendar
