AWS re:Invent 2026

What this countdown tracks

The clock above runs to AWS re:Invent 2026, confirmed for the week of November 30 to December 4, 2026, with keynotes opening at 08:00 PT each day across The Venetian and multiple Las Vegas Strip venues.

About this event

AWS re:Invent is the cloud industry's largest annual conference and Amazon Web Services' flagship event for customers, partners, and developers. The 2026 edition is expected to draw more than 50,000 in-person attendees and another several hundred thousand online participants across 2,000-plus breakout sessions, chalk talks, builder labs, and hands-on workshops. The event spans multiple Strip properties including The Venetian, Wynn, MGM Grand, Encore, and Mandalay Bay, with shuttle networks moving attendees between sessions.

The conference is anchored by three set-piece keynotes: Tuesday morning's Monday Night Live with Peter DeSantis on AWS infrastructure, Tuesday's CEO keynote with Matt Garman covering the headline AI, compute, storage, and database announcements, and Thursday's CTO keynote with Werner Vogels focused on developer culture and architecture. Partner keynotes, customer keynotes, and AWS Hero sessions fill out the programme. A notable change for 2026: AWS re:Inforce, the company's security conference, merges into re:Invent for the first time, expanding security content significantly.

What to expect

Expect substantial AI infrastructure announcements covering Amazon Nova frontier models, Trainium and Inferentia silicon updates, and Bedrock model availability. AgentCore, the agent orchestration framework introduced in 2025, is likely to receive a major update. Expect new SageMaker, S3, EC2, and Aurora capabilities, deeper Anthropic Claude integration via Bedrock, and refreshed serverless and Kubernetes tooling. Security content from the merged re:Inforce track will include Identity, GuardDuty, and compliance updates. Pricing on Trainium-backed inference and reserved capacity offerings is a perennial focus.
