Did you know that you can earn upto $50 AWS Credits while learning all about AWS Services?
AWS hold FREE Online conferences where you can earn $25 or $50 in AWS credits. All you need to do is attend live, enjoy the content and provide feedback! This $50 can be useful for those who want to get hands on practice on AWS and are worried about over-shooting the free tier.
Upcoming Events where you could earn Credits
AWS Innovate - Data & AI/ML Edition :
March 9, 2023 (EMEA Timezone friendly : Example: 9am London to 2pm London) :
https://aws.amazon.com/events/innovate-online-conference/emea/aiml-data/
March 14,2023 (Americas Timezone friendly : Example : 12pm-4pm eastern) :
https://aws.amazon.com/events/innovate-online-conference/americas/
The Americas event continues as its "Pi day" (if you write your date as mm.dd format - its 3.14.... Unfortunately this does not work for my British / Indian brain where dates are always dd/mm/yyyy)
Confirmation of Credits offer
From the FAQ of the first event : https://aws.amazon.com/events/innovate-online-conference/emea/aiml-data/faqs/
If you tune in live on March 9th and watch 4 sessions or more, you are eligible for the Certificate of Attendance and $25 AWS USD credits. Gain an extra $25 AWS USD Credits by submitting the Overall Event Survey form during the live event - you can find this on the main navigation bar.Please read the AWS Promotional Credit Terms and Conditions here. Any qualifying credits will be sent to your registered email address by June 9th 2023
FAQ
Notes / frequently asked questions everytime I mention this topic:
- The actual event is free and is held online. There are no costs to join and you only need your time / energy and a device on the internet
- The Online conference is focused on AI / ML / Data but there are multiple tracks and over 50 sessions to choose from with content aimed at beginners to experts
- You can join either the EMEA OR the Americas event based on what timezone works best for you (or join both if you can) . The Asia Pacific & Japan specific event already finished on 22-Feb-23.
- Caveat : the Americas event does not have the same FAQ entry confirming the Credits offer like the EMEA one (but I am fairly confident the offer will be the same).
- There is an event feedback form which you can fill it anytime through the conference timings - this should usually earn you $25. You need to do this while the conference is LIVE - not before / after.
- You need to actively participate in the conference as at the end of each video session, there is a feedback form asking feedback on content and the presenter. You need to do this while the conference is LIVE - not before / after. You need to watch 4 video sessions at minimum and provide feedback.
- Credits will take time to come through (June / July)
- The credit is typically a simple code that can be applied to your account. That means you need to have an AWS account in the first place to add credits to. If you have issues creating an account, this may not help you or act like a replacement for a credit/debit card.
- AWS Credits only work for some services - you cannot buy domain names with them for example.
- AWS Credits also cannot be exchanged for Exam Vouchers or pay for exam fees or anything else that Amazon sells or AWS offers
- The conference has plenty of other benefits beyond just Credits like almost a hundred sessions, slides with details, links to online and other resources, ebooks, Q&A with AWS SME's etc.
- After the day of the event, all content becomes available on-demand till the next conference - so if you liked something you can share it out
So - what are you waiting for? Go register!
