AWS Community Day: AI Edition. Building the Future of AI

Inside 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).
