Attended re:Invent
I am going to re:Invent in-person this year. I have been to re:Inforce but never the big one. The largest obstacle for me has been the overall cost because I'm from Canada.

  • ~$1000 USD - Airfare
  • $1,788 USD - Ticket Price
  • ~$1,00 USD - Hotel
So you're looking at around ~$5,000 CAD

I am fortunate that I am an AWS Community Hero so these costs are taken care of for me. I am not really one for tech-talks since I've iterated across AWS services many times over. So I will likely be on the floor connecting with people.
