training, and certification opportunities. At the conference,

you’ll have access to more than 1,500 technical sessions, a

partner expo, after-hours events, and so much more.

WhenNovember 28 – December 3, 2021. Onsite registration

desk opens on Sunday, November 28 at 12PM. View

the full agenda here.

Wherere:Invent will be onsite in Las Vegas—with events at The

Venetian, Caesars Forum, and Wynn—as well as online (for

keynotes, leadership sessions, and breakout sessions).

The utility industry is undergoing the most

significant transformation to its operating and

business models since the modern utility structure

was developed at the beginning of the 20th

century. Regardless of whether the source of power

is oil and gas, wind, or solar, predictive

maintenance is a critical business need for all

Companies like Amazon rely on robots to automate

their operations in warehouse facilities, fulfillment

centers, manufacturing lines, and more. However,

its difficult to scale and advance robotics fleets

without increasing costs or reducing operational

efficiency. Simulation is a useful tool for robotics

development that enables companies to accelerate

robotic solution delivery, train robots more

accurately, and optimize complex robotics

operations before physical deployment. In this

session, you learn how Amazon uses simulation to

For robots to perform complex tasks such as

automated monitoring and visual inspection, they

must be able to perceive and understand their

environments, which is accomplished by using

computer vision (CV) models. To effectively train a

CV model to operate in a dynamic environment, ML

scientists must collect a large and variable set of

real-world images, a time consuming and expensive

process. In this session, we discuss why and how

Amazon Robotics uses synthetic data generation to

accelerate and scale CV model development for

their robotic arms.

session, learn how to use AWS IoT Core Device

Advisor, an integration test tool, in a continuous

integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)

pipeline to overcome these challenges.

• Make sure to watch the Leadership sessions that are most relevant to your areas of interest to get the most strategic updates.

➢ We recommend the IoT Leadership Session (Thurs, Dec 2 | 11:30-12:30pm) and AWS for the Edge Leadership Session

(Thurs, Dec 2 | 2:30-3:30pm)

• Be sure to not miss out on all the Keynotes, as that’s where you’ll catch the biggest AWS launches!

• re:Invent always tries to feature as many customers directly speaking about their real-world experiences of using AWS products

and services. You’ll find them in many breakout sessions, as well as keynotes.

• Think about topics that are currently mission critical to your team, and topics you’re interested in learning more about.

• Breakout sessions will be available to watch virtually, even if you are registered for in-person re:Invent.

• Make an extensive list of sessions to watch! Favorite lots of sessions so when reserved seating goes live, you have lots of options.
