Next Thursday, 8th August 9.30a-6p, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be holding a day long seminar at Hong Kong Science Park to share best practices and provide technical mentoring on using Amazon Web Services to help your startup grow faster.

The seminar will feature gaming startups Frenzoo and Mad Head on how they successfully use AWS to power their games.
