Levels

Find your level

AWS re:Inforce sessions are offered at three levels so you can find sessions that are tailored for your learning level. Session levels are indicated in the session ID, available when the session catalog launches.

200 – Intermediate
Sessions at the 200 level provide an overview of AWS Cloud security, identity, and compliance services or features with the assumption that attendees have some working knowledge of the topic. These sessions highlight basic use cases, features, functions, and benefits.
300 – Advanced
Sessions at the 300 level dive deeper into specific areas of AWS Cloud security, identity, and compliance services. Presenters assume that the audience is familiar with the specific topic but may or may not have direct experience implementing a similar solution. The focus is on compliance matters and performance at the organizational level.
400 – Expert
Sessions at the 400 level are for attendees who are deeply familiar with security, identity, and compliance topics; have implemented a solution or solutions on their own; and are comfortable with how the technology works across multiple services, architectures, and implementations. Presenters dive into code, cover advanced systems, and explore future developments in the technology.
