**Hello AWS UG Mannheim! 👋** Big news: we are now an officially recognised AWS User Group. 🎉 For our third meetup on October 21st we are marking it properly — three talks, an hour of networking, and a LEGO set given away live at the end. 🍕 And instead of one caterer: a pizza tasting. Three or four Mannheim pizzerias deliver through the evening, everyone tastes, everyone votes, and we announce the winner at the end together with the LEGO winner. 📍 About the location: we book the room once we see how many of you are coming, and announce it here in the group. Seats are limited, so please RSVP early — that number is what decides how big a room we take. 📆 **Agenda** 18:00 – 18:30 \| Doors Open: Pizza\, Drinks & Pre\-Event Networking 18:30 – 20:30 \| Welcome & Tech Talks \(including Q&A and breaks\) 20:25 \| LEGO draw and the pizza vote result 20:30 – 21:30 \| Networking\, Deep Dives & Discussions 🎙️ **Our Speaker Line-up** 🌐 **Talk 1: AWS Community Programmes (\~25 min)** Heroes, Community Builders, User Groups, Cloud Clubs — who runs which programme, how you get in, and what it is actually worth. Johannes has walked that whole path himself, which is why he opens the evening. Speaker: Johannes "Lockhead" Koch – AWS DevTools Hero, AWS User Group Bergstraße Short Bio: An AWS DevTools Hero since June 2023 and an AWS Community Builder before that. A DevOps enthusiast and a builder by heart, working in TypeScript, Angular and Java, convinced by full CI/CD automation and infrastructure as code — which is where he learned to love AWS CDK. Member of the AWS DACH Community Förderverein. ⚙️ **Talk 2: Amazon EKS Auto Mode (\~30 min)** Running a Kubernetes cluster without managing the node infrastructure yourself. AWS provides compute, storage and networking, scales dynamically, and picks instance types automatically from your workload and NodePool requirements. Speaker: Armin Bube – Solutions Architect at AWS Short Bio: Armin is a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services with a passion for multi-region setups, databases and containers. 🚀 **Talk 3: AWS for Startups (\~20 min)** Activate credits, the accelerator programmes, access to Solutions Architects, and the route through Marketplace. Practical: what you can apply for, in what order, and what realistically comes out of it. Speaker: Anindita Mazumder – Business Development, Hepta Technologies Short Bio: Business Development Manager with over 15 years driving partner growth, AI-led solution sales and SMB account expansion across Australia, New Zealand and EMEA. Combines enterprise experience at Dell Technologies with hands-on startup exposure, ecosystem events and early-stage partnerships. 🧱 **Win a LEGO Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise** Hepta Technologies is sponsoring a LEGO Icons Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D — 3,600 pieces, nine minifigures, 60 cm long once built. To take part, three things: **[enter on the prize page](https://heptatech.de/en/lego)**, follow this group — **[on Meetup ](https://www.meetup.com/aws-user-group-mannheim/)[or on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/aws-user-group-mannheim)**, either one is enough — and follow **[Hepta Technologies](https://www.linkedin.com/company/hepta-technologies)** on LinkedIn. That is the whole list. Drawn live on stage at 20:25. You have to be in the room to win — no exceptions, nothing posted out. 👉 **[Enter the draw here](https://heptatech.de/en/lego)** 🔗 **Share it, and bring someone along -** On our \*\*[event page ](https://vbenussi.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/ugm3/event)\*\*you will find the full programme, the speakers and how many seats are still free. From there you can share the evening on LinkedIn, download a ready-made Instagram story with a QR code, and invite colleagues by email — the invitation goes out in your name and you get a copy. None of that earns you anything in the draw. But the fuller the room, the better the evening. 💡 **Important Info & RSVP** This event is open to all AWS enthusiasts
