AWS Summits · US and Europe
Book meetings at AWS Summits in the cities where your buyers are.
AWS Summits are free, mostly one-day regional events. They draw local cloud teams who don't fly to re:Invent, which makes them one of the most cost-effective events for small vendor teams. We book the meetings so the day pays off.
How do you book meetings at an AWS Summit? Start 4-6 weeks before the Summit. Build a list of cloud, platform, data and security leaders at target accounts in that city and region, plus local AWS partners. Reach them by email, LinkedIn and phone with a reason to meet, and offer short meetings at the venue or a cafe nearby. Because Summits are short, every slot counts. A8Z runs this end to end for B2B software vendors.
Why AWS Summits are worth a small team's time
Local buyers
Summits attract practitioners and leaders from the surrounding region, including many who never make it to Las Vegas.
Lower cost
Free attendance and one-day formats make Summits cheaper than flagship conferences, even with a booth.
A full calendar in one day
With only one day, walk-up traffic isn't enough. Pre-booked meetings turn the day into a pipeline event.

AWS Summit meeting booking questions
What is an AWS Summit?
AWS Summits are free regional events run by Amazon Web Services in cities around the world, usually for one day, with keynotes, sessions and an expo. They are smaller and more local than AWS re:Invent.
Which AWS Summits do you book meetings for?
AWS Summits in the US and Europe, such as New York, Washington DC, London and Hamburg. AWS publishes each year's cities and dates on its Summits page.
When should we start booking meetings for an AWS Summit?
4-6 weeks before the Summit. Because it's a one-day event, it's worth booking your slots early.
Can you cover several Summits in one season?
Yes. Many vendors attend a few Summits in a row. We run outreach per city, using the same messaging and a local target list for each.
