AWS Theater: Expert Insights and Real Solutions
The AWS Theater showcased a variety of sessions presented by AWS technical leaders, AWS Partners and customers explaining how cloud services and generative AI are transforming media, entertainment and sports workflows.
Attendees discovered actionable strategies to accelerate cloud adoption, optimize production efficiency and drive innovative solutions. Real-world case studies spanned live cloud production, fan engagement workflows, multi-channel monetization strategies and scalable content creation. Attendees heard from AWS Partners like NVIDIA, Fabric, Wizeline and how customers are accelerating innovation across media pipelines.
Highlights included the Studio and Startup Spotlight – where studios like The Wonder Project and Adastra will discussed the latest in how AI is transforming content production.
AWS Builder’s Lab
New to the 2026 NAB Show, the AWS Builder’s Lab was located on the back side of the AWS Theater. Attendees participated in technical workshops under the guidance of AWS experts and AWS Partners throughout the week. The lab offered three 90-minute workshops per daywhere attendees learned how to:
- Build intelligent media workflows with Agentic AI
- Analyze and collaborate on multi-party analytics with privacy-enhancements using AWS Clean Rooms
- Create streaming analytics dashboards in minutes with Amazon Q Developer
Each workshop began with a short instruction by the speaker, followed by solution-focused hands-on workshop.
