BHM 
About
Launched in February 2020, BHM AWS aims to build a welcoming community for Birmingham, Alabama area Amazon Web Services users or those simply wanting to learn more about cloud technologies. Regular meetings occur on the last Thursday of each month highlighting cloud concepts, AWS services and business case studies through presentations, hands-on walkthroughs and panel discussions. Topics and technical depth vary from month to month in an effort to offer valuable content to a wide array of local community members.
Update January 2024: After our first four years operating virtually, we return to in-person meetups at Innovation Depot beginning February 28!

How do I become a sponsor?
The focus of BHM AWS sessions is always first and foremost on conversation of effective use of AWS cloud technologies. We welcome vendors to participate and sponsor events so long as topics remain largely indepedent of the given organizations' products and services. We are glad to lend visibility to our partners via co-branding of events, sites and other materials, but ask that session presentations remain free of sales or marketing content in order to encourage and emphasize technical conversations and member participation. Contact us at bhmaws@gmail.com for details on sponsorship and promotional opportunities.
How can I become a presenter at an upcoming BHM AWS event?
We are always looking for presenters for upcoming sessions! Please reach out to bhmaws@gmail.com with any ideas for topics you like to speak on, or even ideas of content you'd like to see. We welcome a wide array of presentation formats and especially encourage participation from the Birmingham community - we love to spread ideas and examples of leveraging AWS technologies among our local businesses.
