AWS Community Day Malta 2026
Join us in Malta for two days of practical, peer-driven insights from AWS community. We start on the 15th with a day of hands-on workshops, then spend the 16th on talks, live demos and networking.
Whether you're scaling serverless, wrestling with IaC, exploring AI/ML, or just trying to keep prod running optimally, you'll find real stories and takeaways from people doing it live, not just talking theory.

Two days, jam-packed with learning and networking (not just the VPC kind)
Practical, hard-won insights from builders in the trenches — whether you're here to level up your stack, sanity-check your architecture, or just swap stories over coffee.
Day one · Thursday 15 October
Workshops
A full day of hands-on, build-along workshops. Bring a laptop, pick a room, and leave having actually deployed something.
Day two · Friday 16 October
Talks
Technical sessions, lightning talks and live demos across parallel tracks, wrapped up with plenty of time for networking.
The schedule
38 talks and 19 workshops in 8 rooms.
Note that the schedule is subject to change, and will be confirmed closer to the date.
