Malaysia’s largest enterprises and public-sector institutions are navigating a critical modernization inflection point. As digital adoption accelerates, organizations are looking for scalable, future-ready platforms that improve resilience, simplify operations, and unlock faster innovation while meeting stringent security and compliance requirements.
Join AWS and senior industry leaders for an exclusive CXO roundtable in Kuala Lumpur, where we will explore how leading organizations are modernizing core workloads – including VMware estates – on AWS to reduce cost, improve performance, and drive business transformation at scale.
This session will feature AWS executives, modernization specialists, and customer success leaders who will share real-world modernization stories from the region, demonstrating how organizations have improved operational visibility, strengthened reliability, and accelerated time-to-market by modernizing on AWS. We will discuss the latest AWS investments in Malaysia, modernization pathways for VMware workloads, and industry-specific examples spanning financial services, manufacturing, and enterprise sectors.
The event will conclude with an intimate networking lunch, giving you the opportunity to engage with industry peers, exchange modernization experiences, and connect with AWS leadership in a closed-door, high-trust environment.
