Hispanic AWS User Groups are the newest addition to the growing global community
There are more than 200 AWS User Groups around the world sharing ideas and learning about new services and best practices
Over the past year, a lot of progress has been made since I set out on a mission to provide Spanish speakers — over 560 million worldwide — access to AWS technical content in our native language.
Our efforts to engage and grow the Hispanic AWS user community has resulted the availability of a Spanish AWS Certification course, an AWS en Español LinkedIn group that’s grown to 700 members, and a live-broadcast of our monthly meeting via YouTube!
To engage the Hispanic community at the local level, my recent focus has shifted to creating and organizing AWS User Groups in Latin America and Spain. The user groups provide professionals an opportunity to interact with local AWS practitioners, ask questions, and share ideas.
During April, I’m excited to announce that 4 new AWS User Groups were established in Latin America (LATAM) and Spain with sponsorship from A Cloud Guru. Please welcome these Hispanic user groups to the growing AWS community!
Join the AWS Community Day festivities in San Francisco on 15th of June to celebrate! AWS Community Day is a free, community-organized event featuring technical discussions led by expert AWS users and community leaders from the Bay Area and throughout the West Coast.
“AWS Community Day will offer us a unique opportunity that we cannot get at AWS re:Invent or AWS Summit.” — John Varghese, Leader, Bay Area AWS User Group
If you are a passionate AWS user and are interested in joining or starting your own AWS User Group, check out the list of existing groups or learn how to get one started. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or Twitter if you are interested in creating an AWS User Group in LATAM or Spain!
