OpenAI on Amazon Bedrock — Live in Seattle | July 15th
You're invited to an exclusive, invite-only session — OpenAI on Amazon Bedrock, Live in Seattle | July 15th
GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex are now available on Amazon Bedrock.
If you're running OpenAI workloads today, the real question isn't whether Amazon Bedrock matters to you — it’s how much operational simplicity, governance, and cost savings you can gain by moving your workloads to Bedrock.
The AWS Seattle Startup team and Aivar Innovations (AWS Preferred Partner) are hosting an invite-only hands-on session on July 15th with live demos from real production environments and direct answers to your questions.
Attendance is limited to 30 participants to keep the session highly interactive and allow time for technical discussion.
Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026
Time: Doors open, grab food, and get settled: 12:00-1:00 PM | Program: 1:00 – 3:30 PM | Happy hour to follow
Location: Amazon re:Invent, 2121 8th Ave Seattle, WA
What You'll Experience
Getting Started on Amazon Bedrock: We'll provision GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 live, walk through IAM, PrivateLink, and Guardrails, and run a first inference call start to finish with full CloudTrail audit logging.
Bring Your Own Workload: We’ll migrate an existing OpenAI API integration to Amazon Bedrock with minimal code changes. You’ll see the migration process live, compare outputs, and understand what changes—and what doesn’t.
Model Diversification and Governance: This isn't a one-to-one swap story. We'll show you how to benchmark GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 against other available models on Amazon Bedrock, cut costs by right-sizing workloads by task, and implement intelligent routing with a full governance layer covering guardrails, budgets, and observability.
Codex on Bedrock: We'll do a short demo of Codex, the OpenAI coding agent now available on Bedrock. See how it holds context across an entire repository, handles multi-step tasks, and routes all inference through AWS with the same IAM and VPC controls you already use. If your team builds software, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of where Codex fits into a modern engineering workflow.
At the end of the session, you'll have time to share what you're actually building. We'll show you where it fits.
