About AWSUGDAM
Our Story
AWS User Group Damascus (AWSUGDAM) is Syria's first AWS User Group — an officially recognized community by Amazon Web Services. We were founded to bridge the gap between Syrian tech talent and the global cloud ecosystem.
Our Mission
Connect · Educate · Inspire. We bring together cloud enthusiasts, developers, architects, and students across Syria to learn from each other and from the global AWS community.
Built on Damascus's Spirit of Knowledge
Damascus has been a center of knowledge, craft, and culture for thousands of years. AWSUGDAM carries that spirit into the cloud era — blending the precision of modern cloud architecture with the rich tradition of Syrian ingenuity.
