AWS North Community Conference

AWS North Community Conference is the premier event in the North East where technology leaders, developers, and innovators come together to explore the future of cloud computing and learn how AWS is transforming how we build, innovate, and scale software solutions.

The conference offers a blend of visionary keynotes, technical deep dives, hands-on workshops, and interactive sessions, providing opportunities for everyone—from beginners to seasoned professionals—to expand their AWS expertise.

The conference will span three tracks, each designed to provide a unique experience for attendees, no matter their level of expertise.

⭐ Leader/Architect Stage

Start your journey at the Leader/Architect Stage, where industry thought leaders and global innovators will share their vision for the future of cloud computing. Learn about the latest cloud trends, cutting-edge AWS product launches, and emerging best practices that will shape the future of technology.

⭐ Builder/Developer Stage
Dive deep into the technical side of AWS at the Builder/Developer Stage, where detailed case studies and 'how we built it' sessions take centre stage. These talks will provide an inside look at how AWS services solve complex challenges, focusing on technical architectures, infrastructure, scalability, and best practices. Ideal for developers, architects, and technical decision-makers looking to build resilient, scalable solutions.

⭐ Lightning Stage

Get inspiration with lightning talks, where young, local talent will deliver concise presentations on exciting technical topics. These fast-paced talks offer fresh perspectives on areas like AI, security, DevOps, and more, providing attendees with new ideas and approaches from the next generation of tech innovators.

The key themes for the 2025 conference are

💡Modernisation

Explore how organisations are reimagining their infrastructure and applications for the cloud. Sessions will cover cloud migration strategies, application modernisation, and best practices for transitioning from legacy systems to cloud-native architectures. Learn how AWS tools and services empower organisations to adopt agile, scalable, and cost-effective solutions.

💡Migration

Migration is a crucial step in digital transformation. Attend sessions focused on migrating existing workloads to AWS efficiently and securely. Discussions will cover lift-and-shift approaches, re-platforming, and re-architecting applications for the cloud, ensuring a smooth and cost-effective migration journey.

💡Serverless, Containers and Modern Cloud Architecture

Serverless computing and containerisation are key enablers of modern cloud applications. Discover how AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECS, and Amazon EKS help build scalable, resilient, and cost-effective architectures. Sessions will explore best practices for container orchestration, workload optimisation, and microservices deployment.

Delve into event-driven architectures and learn how to design responsive applications using AWS EventBridge, Amazon SQS, and AWS Step Functions. Understand how event-driven patterns drive automation, scalability, and real-time processing.

Additionally, gain insights into development best practices for building cloud-native applications, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, observability, and security considerations. Whether modernising existing applications or building new cloud-native solutions, this track will provide actionable strategies to enhance agility and efficiency.
