What Do I Do at AWS?
The role of advocacy is more than what you see on a stage
Where in the world have I been? It has been a few weeks since my last post but that is because I have been on the road evangelizing. What’s that? Well, I have been traveling to events to do what I do best, share the good word of AWS to the uninitiated and covert the unconverted to our cloud platform.
As the world has begun to open after a year-and-a-half of a global pandemic, in-person events are starting to happening again. Travel has also resumed albeit with a few more restrictions and processes than before the pandemic shutdown travel and borders. Events have also adjusted, so vaccinations records, COVID tests, and sanitizing supplies are standard practice.
Even with some inconveniences, I have been actively getting myself back out to meet customers. I was honored to be a speaker and panelist for BIN@PORTO 2021 a few weeks back to share on the topic of community and startup ecosystems. Then I spent the week in Lisbon at Web Summit with over 42,000 attendees to speak on equipping startup founders with skills to sell and market in the early stages. I also must give a shout out to the organizers as both events were well-organized and hosted in a manner that was safe for all attendees and staff.
