Hey!

Just got approval from the bosses for the re:Invent in Las Vegas this year! Any one from here thinking about going ?

The conference is being held at the Venetian from Oct 6th - Oct 9th.

Background : I work as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with an AWS Consulting Partner. We are a group of 4 Consultants working out of Wellington, New Zealand and I deal with Support & Infrastructure Opportunities.

Would be good to meet some of you there !

Cheers

Chanakya

    I plan to be there, but October is still a long way away.

    Well. It is a long way away. I need approvals. And leave. And visas. And tickets. Coming to Vegas from Wellington, New Zealand!

    Thought i'd find if anyone else has planned.

    I intend to keep this post a commentary as well. It will be used for a blog at the end of the summit.

    We should meet when we are there!

    Cheers

    Anyone registering for it. I have a partner code they could use to take off $400!

    Let me know!

    Thinking about going on my own dime. Training gets approved, conferences, not so much. I've got a partner code, so I'm good there. Although, most of the sessions get posted online post conference.

    That is true. I will be attending a couple of boot camps outside of the conference too. There are some running on Monday and Tuesday. Making the most of the trip !

    Just realized you're coming out from NZ! Yeah, I'd certainly stay for as long as time permits. Maybe even take in some Casinos while you're out. ;)

    The one thing I feel bad about is that the Puppet Conf is also during the same time and not very close by! Wish I could have attended that as well!

    Again, don't fret. All puppet conf videos go online post conf. :)

    Granted, I realize it's the communicating with other like minded folks that is the real benefit, but this isn't a bad consolation prize.
