Unconference An unconference is an event format that encourages wider and deeper participation. Even the agenda of the event is evolved 'on-the-fly' by the participants. Informality, sharing, and soliciting alternative techniques/point of views are definign characteristics of an unconference. AWS Workshop and Unconference is designed to highlight both the Technology Platform Provider( ie AWS) side of the story as well as the Technology Users side of the story. While the workshop sessions are primarily about the AWS platform, the unconference is all about the AWS platform users. A few pre-announced talks/demos seed the unconference, while there is ample opportunity to present inpromptu talks/demos. The invited/pre-announced talks/demos are by AWS users sharing about their experience of deploying AWS in production. The impromptu talks/demos are typically 3-6minutes slots. A startup presenting their AWS use case, nifty tips and tricks related to an AWS service, sharing about cost comparisions etc make good impromptu talks. Here are a few illustrative example topics:

•

How to host static websites using S3. Or Your awesome website for less than Rs 25 per month!
