AWS re:Invent 2026

AWS's marquee week — five days, five venues, a stampede of announcements.

Dates: November 30 – December 4, 2026
Venue: The Venetian, Wynn, Encore, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV
Attendees: 60,000+

re:Invent is less a conference and more an occupation of the Las Vegas Strip. Expect a Monday Night Live opening, a Tuesday keynote firehose of service launches, and 2,500+ breakouts, chalk talks, and workshops across five casino-hotels. It's exhausting in the best way.

Why nerds should go

Stay-active nerd tips

Distances between venues are brutal — the shuttle between Mandalay Bay and Venetian is 25+ minutes. Cluster your sessions by hotel.
Bring one comfortable pair of shoes and one recovery pair. You will hit 25k steps a day.
The Venetian's Canyon Ranch gym is open to hotel guests and is the best on the Strip.
