About the event

We are excited to announce the Los Angeles Amazon Web Services Analytics user group meetup. The primary purpose of this initiative is to bring our SoCal customers together, and to provide a platform for them to interact with AWS Analytics Specialists and Partners to discuss use-cases, success stories, architecture patterns and common challenges as they continue to expand their usage and knowledge base of AWS Analytics Services.

For the event, we will focus on Amazon Redshift with speakers from AWS, Customers and Partners. This event is open for new and existing customers, who run analytics workloads and want to learn more about AWS for Data and how Analytics services could help their organizations drive high-impact business outcomes by becoming data driven.

Who should attend

The user group is ideal for existing customers - CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, IT leaders, Architects, System Engineers, System Administrators and Developers who run workloads on Amazon Redshift and are eager to learn from other customers and AWS specialists about their experience and best practices.
