START HERE

One marketplace.
Two ways to use it.

The planned marketplace connects attendees who want a session reservation with attendees willing to sell one. Here’s how each side would work.

I WANT TO BUY

For buyers

  1. Find your session.

    Browse by topic and compare prices. Check the date, time, and venue against your conference plans.

  2. Review the total.

    Review the seller’s asking price and your total before committing. You’ll need your own re:Invent registration to attend.

  3. Attempt the reservation handoff.

    The planned handoff releases the seller’s reservation and attempts to book it for you. The service would hold your payment during the attempt and pay the seller only after your reservation is confirmed.

I WANT TO SELL

For sellers

  1. Find and reserve sessions with AI.

    Use an assistant to identify sessions people may want and request reservations through AWS on your own registration. AI-assisted booking opens October 8.

  2. Set your asking price.

    Offer a reservation you’ve secured and are willing to release. The proposed seller fee is 10%: on a $100 sale, you’d receive $90.

  3. Release when the buyer is ready.

    The planned service coordinates your cancellation with the buyer’s booking attempt. You’d receive payment only if their reservation is confirmed.

What happens if the handoff fails?

AWS doesn’t offer a direct seat-transfer feature. Once a seller releases a seat, another attendee may reserve it first. The proposed payment flow would refund the buyer in full if their booking fails. The seller could lose the original reservation; getting it back isn’t guaranteed.

Book directly with AWS

Session reservations open for people booking through AWS’s attendee website or app. This gives direct booking a two-day head start.

AI-assisted booking opens

Booking through the AWS Events MCP server opens. MCP is the connection that lets an AI assistant use AWS’s event tools on your behalf. You’ll need to sign in with the AWS Builder ID linked to your registration.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you get started.

Does this include a re:Invent conference pass?

No. The marketplace is for reservations to individual sessions. Buyers and sellers each need their own conference registration.

Why would I pay for a session that’s included in my pass?

Your pass includes session access, but a reservation for a particular session may be hard to get. The proposed marketplace pays another attendee to release their reservation while attempting to book it for you. You can also look for availability directly through AWS.

Does October 8 mean re:AInvent trading opens?

No. October 8 is the opening date for AI-assisted booking through AWS. re:AInvent’s buying and selling launch date hasn’t been announced.

Can I use the calculator without an account?

Yes. Open a quote to see the buyer’s price or calculate seller proceeds. Saved quotes last for this visit and reset when you reload.

Planned payment and reservation handoff

The proposed flow holds the buyer’s payment until their reservation is confirmed, then pays the seller 90% of the sale price. If booking fails, the buyer gets a full refund and the seller receives no payout. A released seat may be taken by someone else.
