Where Is Community Day Held?

Where Can I Park?
There are few parking garages in the area, but the closest one is 1770, 1550 Public Garage Grocer Access (pictured below), priced at $23 for all-day as of the publishing of this site.
Other all-day parking garage options:
212 Crystal Dr. Garage – $23

Though you may park on the street, we strongly discourage it due to varied time limits, permit only areas, and a high potential of getting a ticket.
Is the Event Metro Accessible?
Yes! Take the Metro to the closest stop at Crystal City station. From there, it’s only a short walk to HQ2. You can also take the bus to NB Crystal Drive.
What Do I Need to Bring?
Please bring your government ID for event check in (required by AWS - this should match your registration) and a laptop to participate in the workshops. For networking purposes, bring your business cards or be prepared with your LinkedIn QR code!
What is the Dress Code?
We recommend business casual, but please wear whatever makes you the most comfortable and confident.
How Do Students Benefit from Community Day?
DMV Community Day gives students a chance to dive deeper into AWS with guidance from experienced practitioners. You’ll gain hands-on experience through workshops and expand your knowledge with our diverse set of sessions on multiple topics. Whether you’re just starting out or already have a foundational understanding of AWS, you’ll leave with actionable insights such as general best practices, how to leverage AWS services, or tips on getting certified to build your resume.
Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with other AWS users and meet students on a similar path as you. This is important because growing your network and building connections may lead to potential job opportunities or, better yet, new friendships with people who share the same interests.
For anyone looking to grow in this field, it’s definitely a day well spent!
