Substitution made to first and second place prizes
Amazon's top priority is the well-being of employees, customers, partners, and event attendees, therefore, as you may have noticed the re:MARS 2020 event was canceled due to the growing concerns around COVID-19. As such, changes have been made to the first and second place prize packages — invitations to re:MARS 2020 have been substituted with invitations to re:Invent 2020; components of this prize can be found in the rules.

Did you know?! Hack Fact Friday
Did you know?
Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models quickly. Amazon SageMaker removes the heavy lifting from each step of the machine learning process to make it easier to develop high quality models. Pre-trained ML models from the AWS Marketplace are also deployed in Amazon SageMaker.
Traditional ML development is a complex, expensive, iterative process made even harder because there are no integrated tools for the entire machine learning workflow. You need to stitch together tools and workflows, which is…
