Today we are kicking off AWS re:Invent 2013. Over the course of the next three days, we will host more than 200 sessions, training bootcamps, and hands on labs taught by expert AWS staff as well as dozens of our customers.

This year’s conference kicks off with a keynote address by AWS Senior Vice President Andy Jassy, followed by my keynote on Thursday morning. Tune in to hear the latest from AWS and our customers.

If you’re not already here in Vegas with us, you can sign up to watch the keynotes on live stream here.

Outside of the keynotes, there are an incredible number of sessions offering a tailored experience whether you are a developer, startup, executive, partner, or other. You can see the full session catalog here. I’m impressed by the scale and technical depth of what’s offered to attendees.

After my keynote on Thursday I will host two fireside chat sessions with cloud innovators and industry influencers:

First, I’ll talk with three technical startup founders

• Eliot Horowitz from MongoDB
• Jeff Lawson from Twilio
• Valentino Volonghi from Adroll

In the second session I will talk with three startup influencers

• David Cohen from Techstars
• Ash Fontana from AngelList
• Albert Wenger from Union Square Ventures

I will follow those two sessions with Startup Launches, where five companies will either launch their business or a significant feature entirely built on AWS. It will be a busy, fun, and informative afternoon!

Look forward to seeing you around the conference.
