The annual event launched in 2018 provides a platform for Amazon Web Services (AWS) professionals, developers and enthusiasts to share knowledge, network and learn about new technologies and practices in the world of AWS.

The Manchester event has previously been attended by blue-chip organisations from a range of sectors, including Barclays, NatWest, Lego, Booking.com, the BBC, Lloyds Bank, University of Manchester, Trustpilot, the Home Office, Shell Co-op and Datadog.

The event will take place on the 4th of June at Digbeth venues The Bond and Fazeley Studios, the inaugural Birmingham Comsum will feature over 25 talks and workshops on topics such as cloud migration, digital transformation, application modernisation, accelerating growth and innovation using GenAI and unlocking data to drive business value.

The event will be sponsored by tech consultancy, AND Digital, which has offices at The Foundry in Birmingham’s Brindleyplace and specialist cloud consultancy Steamhaus, which helps organisations unlock the full power of AWS to achieve the speed, stability and innovation required to compete in a digital-first world.

The West Midlands Growth Company [WMGC] – the region’s official investment promotion agency – supported the investment by connecting the Comsum team with relevant regional stakeholders and businesses, including potential commercial partners and event venues.

Councillor John Cotton, leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “I’m delighted that the AWS Comsum team has become the latest organisation to recognise Birmingham’s world-class strengths as a destination for hosting major business events.

“Digbeth’s The Bond and Fazeley Studios will provide the perfect environment to bring together the growing AWS community, and I look forward to welcoming them to Birmingham, this summer and hopefully for many more years to come.”
