Upcoming User Group Talks

Over the years we have found that user groups are great audiences for our Amazon Web Services Presentations. The attendees are often personally motivated to learn something new, and the Q&A is typically extensive.

We've recently added three new evangelists to our team -- one in Japan and two in the United States. Our new US evangelists -- Mike and Jinesh -- will have the opportunity to introduce themselves via this blog sometime next week.

In the meantime I wanted to let you know about the talks that they've scheduled for the next month or two:

• October 5th - Winnipeg, Canada - Winnipeg .Net User Group
• October 7th & 8th - Los Altos, California - Silicon Valley Code Camp
• October 16th - Chicago, Illinois - Chicago PHP User's Group
• October 16th - San Francisco, California - CSC Leading Edge Forum
• October 17th - Mishawaka, Indiana - Michiana .Net User's Group

If you run or are a member of a PHP, .Net, Perl, Java, or Linux user group in the US or Europe and you would be interested in hosting a talk by one of our evangelists, please send a note to awseditor@amazon.com .

PS - During the long, dark (and did I mention wet) Seattle winter, invitations to speak in warm, sunny locations will be given top priority....
