AWS Startup Dev Day comes to Sydney with OpenAI delivering the opening keynote on building and shipping at the frontier of AI.

This is an event for builders, technical startup founders, and CTOs, who want to go deep on building with AI, designing architecture, and the technology decisions that define a successful growing startup.

Join AWS experts, OpenAI, and our other technology partners for in-depth sessions and patterns you can apply immediately.

Choose between two content tracks throughout the day:

1. Technical Founders — the decisions that scale a company: AI strategy, data pipelines, security as a business risk, and architecting for growth.
2. Builders — hands-on coding agents, agentic analytics, multi-tenant SaaS, and workshops you build alongside.

Spaces are limited, and we'll be selecting attendees to bring together the strongest possible cohort. You'll be contacted if a ticket has been allocated to you.
