Takeaways from AWS re:Inforce 2025

This June I got the amazing opportunity to attend AWS re:Inforce, a yearly cloud security conference taking place in Philadelphia. As a recipient of the AWS All Builders Welcome Grant, I attended this event at zero cost, with all travel, accommodation and conference pass costs covered by AWS. If you are in your first 5 years of your career and are passionate about cloud, I highly encourage you to apply to this grant offered for either re:Inforce or re:Invent. Apart from learning about the latest innovations in the cloud, you will also have the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals from all over the world, share experiences and learn from each other.
