What changed
The UK Amazon Quick User Group saw significant growth in 2026, with three quarterly meetups held at the Amazon UK Corporate Office in Shoreditch, London.
These events featured hands-on workshops where attendees built custom chat agents, tested Amazon Quick Desktop on personal laptops, and created web applications using Amazon Quick Apps. The sessions became increasingly practical, with attendees engaging in real-time experimentation and problem-solving.
What this means in practice
Attendees at the meetups included both new and existing users of Amazon Quick, who collaborated on various use cases such as real-time incident management, eliminating dashboard sprawl with governed data layers, and automating support workflows with AI. The workshops provided a sandbox environment for users to experiment with Amazon Quick Flows and Automate, while Amazon Quick Research demonstrated how it reduces research time.
The community also shared customer stories, such as how Arriva UK Trains improved incident management with dynamic dashboards and how Carsa enhanced data consistency and customer satisfaction through a governed data layer.
Limitations and availability
The events were limited to the UK Amazon Quick User Group, with no mention of global availability. Attendees used Amazon Quick Desktop on their own laptops and connected to local files and Outlook via connectors.
The workshops were conducted in provisioned sandbox accounts, and the format evolved each quarter, starting with introductions and demos, then adding quizzes and focused workshops, and finally incorporating panels and networking sessions.
The supplied announcement does not specify the exact number of attendees or the exact outcomes of the workshops beyond the reported improvements in customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
