It’s typically been a high-energy customer extravaganza, a circus for tech people, but there were a few unusual things about this year’s model that made the event feel a bit more subdued than in the past. > For starters, it was the first time back in Vegas after the pandemic forced the event into virtual mode last year. There were fewer people onsite than in a normal year (whatever normal is now), and it was also the first re:Invent with new CEO Adam Selipsky delivering the main keynote on Tuesday.
