About this Event
TechConnect: AWS User Group Meetup – AI, Cloud & Real-World Tech
Sacramento’s builders, engineers, founders, and technologists are coming together for an evening of AI, cloud, and real-world tech conversations.
Join HUMANBULB’s TechConnect AWS User Group meetup to connect with the local tech community, hear practical implementation stories, and explore what’s next in AI and cloud.
We’ll kick things off with great food and networking, then dive into the latest AWS updates with an AI lens—what’s new across AWS AI/ML services, what’s actually worth paying attention to in 2026, and how teams are deploying AI responsibly and efficiently.
You’ll also hear real-world implementation stories from people actively building and leading technology inside their organizations.
