AWS at PA TechCon 2026
AWS is a Gold sponsor of TCCP PA TechCon 2026. Join us for a hands-on Amazon Quick workshop and a session on data, AI, and constituent engagement.
Hands-on workshop: From Data to AI Agent
A Hands-On Amazon Quick Workshop. In this fast-paced, instructor-led workshop, participants go from zero to a working AI-powered analytics environment, with no coding or prior experience required. Using a pre-provisioned AWS sandbox, attendees build an interactive dashboard with natural-language Q&A, then construct and publish a grounded AI chat agent complete with custom persona, tone, and guardrails.
Designed for business, operations, and IT leaders exploring practical adoption of analytics and AI, this 90-minute hands-on lab shows how Amazon Quick turns governed data into conversational insights and intelligent automation.
