Established in 2013, AWS User Group Philippines (AWSUG.PH) is a Philippine-based community united by its members’ passion for Amazon Web Services and its related tools and technologies, including cloud computing, design implementation and servicing, high scalability, performance computing, production use cases, blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and much more.

AWS Community Days are community-organized cloud education events that feature technical discussions and demos by expert AWS users and industry leaders from around the world.

Community-based learning is the best venue for enthusiasts to connect, explore and discuss the concepts by sharing first-hand experiences and familiar, applicable solutions.

Everyone is welcome to learn, share, and network!

We are the AWS User Group Philippines team!

Our Mission, Vision, and Values

A future where Filipino cloud practitioners lead and shape global technology, powered by accessible and community-driven learning

Leadership Principles

The principles that guide how we learn, build, and show up for one another.

01 Lead With Empathy

Great communities are built on understanding and inclusion. AWS User Group leaders and members actively listen to diverse voices, prioritize the needs of others, and create a welcoming space for all. By showing care and respect, members help the community thrive through meaningful connections and collaboration.

02 Respect Volunteer Contributions

Volunteers are the heart of AWS User Groups. Leaders respect the time, motivations, and personal commitments of volunteers, ensuring their efforts are acknowledged and celebrated. The community supports volunteers throughout their journey, understanding that motivations may change and that stepping down from leadership is a natural and honorable milestone.

03 Consistency Builds Trust

Reliability is key to a strong community. AWS User Groups maintain consistent communication, events, and support for their members. This predictability helps build trust, ensuring members feel valued and confident in their engagement with the group.

05 Foster Independence

AWS User Groups empower members to share knowledge, lead initiatives, and innovate in their own unique ways. Independence fuels creativity, and members are encouraged to take ownership of their learning journeys while contributing back to the community. Leaders actively identify and nurture local talent, providing opportunities for members to grow into future speakers, mentors, and leaders within the community.

06 Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity

In a community of innovators and builders, mistakes are inevitable. AWS User Groups foster an environment where trying new ideas is encouraged, and failure is embraced as an opportunity to learn and grow together. This spirit of resilience drives innovation and continuous improvement within the community.

07 Commit to Social Responsibility

AWS User Groups recognize their role in contributing to the greater good. Whether through supporting local causes, promoting sustainable technology practices, or empowering underrepresented groups and contributing to nation-building, these communities strive to make a positive impact beyond technology.
