AWS re:Invent 2026

AWS re:Invent is Amazon Web Services' flagship customer conference, a five-day week in Las Vegas where AWS announces new services and the cloud and AI community works through architecture, migration, cost and security decisions together. The 2026 edition offers more than 2,200 sessions, around 70% of them interactive, spread across several Strip venues including Caesars Forum, Caesars Palace, Encore, MGM Grand, The Venetian and Wynn.

Who attends

re:Invent is aimed at technical practitioners, security professionals and business decision-makers across every industry, with content ranging from 100-level foundations to 500-level deep dives. According to AWS, 47% of 2025 attendees were first-timers.

Session formats

Beyond keynotes, where new AWS capabilities are announced, the programme is built around hands-on and small-group learning.

• Launch sessions with same-day access to new services
• Builders' sessions with around 15 practitioners
• Ask the Experts with AWS service teams
• 500-level deep dives
• Workshops, chalk talks and industry meetups
• Expo with live demos and the AWS Village

Security focus

For 2026, re:Inforce is folded into re:Invent. Security content runs all week, with a dedicated security focus day on Thursday 3 December at the Wynn.
