Project Description/Objectives:

We will hold a conference for students in the United States who are interested in learning more about the Amazon Student Program. A select 500 students will partake in a three-day conference in Washington D.C. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. They will learn more about working at Amazon and the different services they offer like EC2 (Elastic Computing Cloud), SS3 (Simple Storage Service), and Solution Architect. They will also learn about certification programs that will help them with their careers in the IT, management, and government fields. We will be responsible for their lodging, transportation, meals, and activities, including a tour of headquarters. This project will have a duration of six months.
