AWS North Community Conference

The Catalyst, Newcastle Helix

October 2025

In October 2025, BeaconHouse Events supported the inaugural AWS North Community Conference at The Catalyst, Newcastle Helix, bringing together global technology leaders, developers, and innovators to explore how AWS is transforming the way organisations build, innovate, and scale software solutions.

With over 150 attendees and 25 speakers, the conference featured four tracks led by industry experts. Powered by Leighton and sponsored by AWS, with event partners Accenture, Prolific North, and Dynamo, the event combined high-impact content with a vibrant community atmosphere.

Delegates enjoyed lunch from local food trucks, including wood-fired pizzas from Fire & Dough and gyros from The Greekster, while Deep North provided barista services and their renowned doughnuts. In collaboration with the AWS ‘Serverlesspresso’ team, delegates also gained an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the software powering the coffee service.BeaconHouse Events managed every aspect of delivery, from venue, supplier, and speaker coordination to branding, speaker dinner organisation, delegate materials, sponsor liaison, and onsite operations, including AV and stage management.

“I loved how easy the BeaconHouse team made everything feel. They were incredibly professional, organised, and proactive throughout the entire event planning process. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate needs made the planning process smooth and stress-free on our side. BeaconHouse feels like an extension of our own team and I can’t wait to work together again for AWS North 2026.” Holli Taylor, Leighton
