Mapping out your Geo Week at AWS re:Invent 2025
Your map to all the best sessions
Las Vegas in December means AWS re:Invent. We’ve mapped the top sessions and happy hours you don’t want to miss if you’re in geospatial.
Starting on a high note
Start your week at AWS with some fun with your peers. Last year, the geo community carved out its own space at re:Invent. The Geo Party is back, and this time Felt and Wherobots are co-hosting. Finally, a happy hour where 'What’s your preferred CRS?' is normal small talk. If you’re in geospatial, this is the party at re:Invent.
Back to business: the sessions
We don’t need to tell you, AWS re:Invent is always fully packed with sessions and activities.
To make it easy for you, we surveyed the world-class spatial engineering teams at Felt and Wherobots to bring you the four-best-geo-days at the conference. Check out the interactive map for their complete agenda of reccommendations, mapped by location. Bookmark for an easy access during the conference!

Making the most of it
re:Invent is overwhelming by design. It’s 60,000+ people, multiple venues, sessions that book up within hours. Book your geo sessions early, pack your laptop for the builders’ tracks, and scan the edge computing and IoT sessions too. Spatial use cases can show up everywhere, even when they’re not in the title.
See you in Vegas.
