Our newly renovated AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco debuts with a bell! 🔔 We had the pleasure of hosting the @nasdaq closing ceremony with @redpoint InfraRed 100.
Rick stands smiling at the Nasdaq closing bell podium with AMZN (Nasdaq Listed) displayed on its screen. Behind him is a backdrop featuring the Golden Gate Bridge in red outline, along with the logos of Nasdaq, InfraRed Summit (presented by Redpoint), and AWS. Red confetti is scattered on the podium's base.

Two Amazon inventor recognition awards in the shape of puzzle pieces - one made of clear acrylic and one of bamboo - displayed against a backdrop of books. The plaques recognize innovative thinking and technological contributions to Amazon.
