AWS re:Invent is filled with fantastic opportunities, but I wanted to tell you about a space that lets you dive deep with some fantastic open source projects and contributors: the AWS Modern Applications and Open Source Zone! Located in the east alcove on the third floor of the Venetian Conference Center, this space exists so that re:Invent attendees can be introduced to some of the amazing projects that power and enhance the AWS solutions you know and use. We’ve divided the space up into three areas: Demos, Experts, and Fun.
Demos: Learn and be curious
We have two dedicated demo stations in the Zone and a deep list of projects that we are excited to show you from Amazonians, AWS Heroes, and AWS Community Builders. Please keep in mind this schedule may be subject to change, and we have some last minute surprises that we can’t share here, so be sure to drop by.

Fun
Want swag? We’ve got it, but it is protected by THE CLAW. That’s right, we brought back the claw machine, and this year, we might have some extra special items in there for you to catch. No spoilers, but we’ve heard there have been some Rustaceans sighted. You might want to bring an extra (empty) suitcase.
But we’re not done. By popular request, we also brought back Dance Dance Revolution. Warm up your dancing shoes or just cheer on the crowd. You never know who will be showing off their best moves.
Conclusion
The AWS Modern Applications and Open Source Zone is a must-visit destination for your re:Invent journey. With demos, experts, food, drinks, swag, games, and mystery surprises, how can you not stop by?
