Trip Planning

jineshvaria — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:00:20 CDT

This page is used by the Amazon Web Services Evangelists to plan and track our trips.

If you are an independent developer or part of a startup or an established company, and you would like to meet with an Amazon Web Services evangelist one-on-one, or if you would like us to come and talk to your user group or conference, simply find an appropriate page, choose a time slot with care, and enter your information. If you desire a private meeting, simply reserve the time and email the details to us. In fact, always send a private email to evangelists at amazon.com with full contact information. We'll confirm the meeting before the trip.

If you don't see your city on our list of Upcoming Trips, don't despair. Scroll down to Possible Trips, find the page for your area, and enter some info. No promises, but we are happy to show up just about anywhere in the world as long as there are some open-minded developers.

Please note that you can find Simone Brunozzi's trip on his public profile on Dopplr.
