With 100000+ total attendees 2017 in 28 summits over the year, AWS extended their reach. This year AWS is increasing the total amount of summits to 29.

In AWS words AWS Global Summits are:

... free events designed to bring together the cloud computing community to connect, collaborate, and learn about AWS. Summits are held in major cities around the world and attract technologists from all industries, segments, and learning levels who want to learn how the AWS cloud can help them innovate with speed and deliver services with scale, flexibility, and reliability. Attendees will hear from AWS Leaders and Experts, Partners, and Customers. Learn by attending technical breakout sessions, demonstrations, hands-on workshops and labs, and team challenges. Network with AWS Partners and their peers in The HUB—our Partner and Solutions Expo.
