After Hours at re:Invent
Quirky after hours experiences you’ve come to love from the wing eating contest to the (expanded) Pub Crawl, Harley ride, re:Play party, and new this year, the re:Invent 5k. After a full day of sessions, these activities are the perfect way to relax and connect and network with your fellow attendees, re:Invent sponsors, and AWS experts.
