Last week I was at the industry event, RSAC and this week I’m at IBM Think, a vendor event and this got me thinking about the difference between the two types of conferences and how much they’ve changed over the years. Flashback to 15 years ago: If you wanted to experience a blockbuster tech event, you were probably booking your ticket to something like Networld + Interop.
The National Hockey League and Amazon Web Services Inc. are working together to change how hockey is experienced, leveraging cloud technologies and data-driven insights to enhance production workflows and fan engagement. At AWS re:Invent last week, representatives from both organizations joined a panel titled “NHL Unlocked: Live cloud production, sports data, and alternate feeds.”
Amazon Web Services Inc. Chief Executive Matt Garman delivered a three-hour keynote at the company’s annual re:Invent conference to an audience of 60,000 attendees in Las Vegas and another 400,000 watching online, ad they heard a lot of news from the new leader, who became CEO earlier this year after joining the company in 2006.
Amazon Web Services Inc.’s re:Invent is in the books, and if there was any question about whether the show is back, there shouldn’t be. Two years ago, participation was capped as we emerged from the pandemic. Last year, some businesses still had not fully embraced travel and trade shows, and that kept the show from achieving the level of audience it has had in the past.
