Events Update
Due to the pandemic continuing, the annual MacTech Conference 2020 was pushed into 2021 — as early as reasonably possible. This means at best, early in the third quarter of the year. But depending on guidance and public health, it could be later than that. Once there are details, we will make them public.
If you are an attendee, or sponsor, please refer to the email sent to you earlier, or contact customer service with any questions.
The most amazing event for…
Professional Apple IT Pros, Enterprise, consultants, and techs.
MacTech Conference is the major event for Apple IT Pros, Enterprise and consultants. This is the event where Apple’s announcements of the year including new OSes and hardware meet reality. Interesting, thought provoking sessions from amazing speakers coming from around the world to share their knowledge. And, there’s activities to give you time with your peers, and meet new people. Finally, you’ll have direct interaction with the most useful vendors, allowing you to build a relationship with that special “inside” contact.
MacTech Conference is a 3-day, immersive, technical conference specifically designed for Apple IT Pros, Enterprise, techs, and consultants.
The whole idea of MacTech Conference is to allow members of the Apple community to meet and exchange ideas. This will be spurred on by presentations from some of the best and well-known experts in the community.
MacTech Conference has a combination of joint sessions, two concurrent tracks, and labs/forums targeted for IT Pros, Enterprise, consultants, and techs. Sessions will focus on both desktop and mobile, as well as macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
In addition to the awesome content, we strive to create a unique environment at MacTech Conference — one where collaboration, spending time with one’s peers, and new knowledge and connections are fostered. Based on the response from our attendees, I believe we’ve exceeded our mark — year after year, after year.
Each year, MacTech Conference gets better and better. Want to know more? Ask around in the community, or check out comments from attendees or tweets from past years. Our events have been acclaimed, right from the start.
The Insightful.
Speaker announcements for 2020 will come starting in the Spring and will continue to expand over time. In the meantime, to give you an idea, here are just some of the speakers who spoke at MacTech Conference 2019.

Allen Hancock Watchman Monitoring
MacTech Conference promises to have all the knowledge sharing of other events, but without the distractions of that come with companies targeting consumers. I am looking forward to seeing my fellow Apple Consultants Network members, as well as putting faces to so many other new names I’ve seen in the past year.

I don’t know how they do it, when you figure out how many meals we eat, all the activities and events during MacTech, it is an amazing value. Getting one gold nugget of information to help improve your business or workflow makes the entire event worth while all on its own, all combined it is a great value and an amazing event.

MacTech Conference consistently has some of the best session content from some of the most talented speakers in the industry along with the best evening networking-building events you’ll ever experience, period.
