Community events aren’t just about talks. They’re about the energy, the connections, and the moments you carry forward long after the sessions are over.

For the 2nd year in a row, I had the privilege of attending the most awaited AWS Community Day Vadodara 2025, organized by AWS User Groups Vadodara at Suncity Club & Resort. And this time—it truly felt like a festival of learning. 🚀

🌍 More than an Event, a 360° Experience
What made this year’s event stand out was how it transformed beyond the traditional “conference format” into a full-fledged community experience:

🏢 Interactive Booths & Zones – where learning happened hands-on.
🎙️ Live Podcasts & Interviews – conversations that carried raw and fresh perspectives.
🎯 BuilderCards – gamified knowledge sharing.
🌟 Experience Zone – a space to connect, explore, and celebrate technology.

I wasn’t just attending sessions—I was living the community spirit.
Learning in corridors, exchanging ideas at booths, discussing over coffee, and soaking in the vibes across every corner.

🙌 Behind the Scenes: The Organizers
A massive shoutout to the incredible organizers:
Nirmal Pathak, Dhaval Pancholi, Adit N Modi, Priyal Jadav, Chirag Darji, Ravi Soni, Jay Patel, Vrajesh Jayswal, Maitry Patel, Nidhi Thakore and many more.

💙 Why This Matters

AWS Community Day Vadodara once again proved a simple truth: Communities aren’t built by sessions alone, but by the experiences that bring people closer.This wasn’t just about cloud or code—it was about collaboration, curiosity, and connection.

🔖 Closing Thoughts

Walking out of the event, I wasn’t just carrying notes from sessions—I was carrying stories, friendships, and the motivation to keep building.Here’s to more such events where learning goes beyond slides and into real experiences. 🌍💡
