The AWS APJ Community Leaders Summit 2023 was held online 18th of October, bringing together AWS user group leaders, AWS community builders and AWS heroes from across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region. Despite being a remote event this year, the positive, energetic spirit of community leaders was evident during the sessions and across various social media platforms.
We were surprised to find ourselves nominated for User Group of the Year alongside an esteemed list of other regional user groups from Japan, India, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines and Singapore. Knowing the effort and dynamism these groups bring to their respective local communities, it was an honour to be named amongst them. User Group of the Year was rightly awarded to Security JAWS (Japanese AWS User Group). Congratulations to them!
Thank you to our organisers, sponsors and, of course, members. The nomination is validation of our past and ongoing commitment to nurturing the AWS user community in Western Australia.
