What is AWS GameDay?
GameDays are collaborative learning exercises that test your skills in implementing AWS solutions alongside Datadog to solve real-world problems in a gamified, risk-free environment. These interactive sessions allow technical professionals to explore AWS services, architectural patterns, best practices, and teamwork—without step-by-step instructions. You do not need to pre-register for the GameDay. It will run in a walk-up format, with participation on a first-come, first-served basis. Datadog will provide laptops for the GameDay quest. Attendees will have up to 20 minutes to complete their quest, and prizes will be awarded to top participants at the end of the day.
Workshops
How do I sign up for a workshop?
Workshop sign-ups will be available onsite on the day of the event, on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees should plan to visit the workshop check-in desk to secure their place in their preferred session.
My preferred workshop is full—what are my options?
On the day, you'll be able to join a standby queue for your preferred workshop. At the start of the session, if space is available, attendees will be admitted from the standby queue on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re unable to join your preferred workshop, there will be plenty of content and activities available in other breakout sessions.
Do I need a laptop to attend a workshop?
Yes. All workshops are hands-on, and you'll need to bring a laptop. The workshop labs are not accessible on a phone or tablet, so a laptop is required. We also recommend downloading Google Chrome beforehand, as it is required for most sessions.
