### Registration <a name="Registration"></a>
AWS re:Invent as usual started with magnanimous registration counters for seamless registration on Sunday - 28th Nov 2021. Completed the registration, collected the trademark hoodie, headed to speaker registration followed by Slide Deck copy edit, technical check. All set to re:Invent for a week and looking forward to present, learn and interact.

### Speaking at Breat-out session <a name="speaker"></a>
One solid reason to take all the effort to travel to reInvent 2021 was to honour the opportunity to present in Community Track on  **Enable continuous delivery and resiliency for a static website**

And definitely that warrants a dedicated blog page - [Speaking at AWS re:Invent 2021](https://dev.to/aws-heroes/speaker-at-aws-reinvent-2021-dk5)

### Keynotes <a name="keynotes"></a>

To witness the most awaited keynote of Adam Selipsky, CEO, AWS, Swami Sivasubramanian, VP AI ML, AWS, and Dr.Werner Vogels, VP & CTO, Amazon.com, from the front row - reserved seating was quite interesting.

Thank you, Adam, for bringing the bygone memories and history to stage, then draw reference to modern #AWScloud.

Loved ⁦Linda Jojo⁩ in Adam's keynote bringing in proudly about her 60% of diverse workforce and United Airlines association with #aws. Here is one of the best moment at #reinvent. More power to you, mam!

I would want to stop and say it loudly that #awsskillbuilder and #aws re/start programs could be a game changer for larger chunk of folks who return to work after #careerbreak or who cannot afford for paid courses. Kudos to #awscloud #reinvent #womenintech

A good experience being part of AWS Heros Booth, interacting with AWS Heroes across the globe in Heroes lounge.

Further, its great to catch-up with Jeff Barr and Werner Vogels at AWS Heroes Private dinner.

Thanks to Ross for all the arrangements to make reInvent memorable.
