About this event

Join Amazon Web Services (AWS), Anthropic for a relaxed, networking-first happy hour built for startup founders, builders, and technical teams. No dense keynotes, no hard sell — just two sharp sessions, an open mic to ask the questions you actually care about, and plenty of time to mingle over drinks.
