Event Overview
Amazon’s approach to innovation has remained consistent since the company first launched – start with the customer and work backwards. To support long-term innovation at speed and scale,

Amazon’s Culture of Innovation is organized around four interdependent elements:
 - Culture – be customer obsessed, hire builders, empower them to build fast, and retain a “Day 1” culture that fosters innovation and surprises and delights customers
 - Mechanisms – processes and mental models that help turn good intentions into action and facilitate high-velocity decision-making and execution
 -  Architecture – establish a technical structure that supports rapid growth and change, reduces dependencies, and allows greater access to the technology that helps you builders build
 - Organization – small, autonomous teams that own what they create, with the right resources to support rapid innovation, nimble experimentation, and a single-threaded focus on their customers

Learning Outcomes

 - Provides valuable insights, lessons learned, and best practices from Amazon’s cultural mechanisms and our own innovation journey
 - Fosters dialogue about specific innovation challenges and opportunities where AWS may be able to help
 - Accelerates your innovation by helping identify the next steps with the right AWS teams to solve problems and realize opportunities for your end customers
