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.

 

 

Sessions

The main part of the conference is three solid days: all day Wed, Thurs and Fri, Nov 7-9, ending at 5pm on Friday. Session categories and full session descriptions, when available, are on the sessions page. See full speaker bios and Pre-Conference Workshops pages for their details.

Sessions are held back-to-back, maximizing content and packing in all that we can. In addition to the sessions listed, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in labs and group discussions. No worries, however, there’s plenty of breaks and networking time as well!

Sessions and Topic Categories

Typically, Apple announces at WWDC in June and ships most if not everything by MacTech Conference in November. With that in mind, the specific sessions for MacTech Conference are not announced until after we can consider Apple’s WWDC announcements.

MacTech Conference promises to have all the knowledge sharing of other events, but without the distractions of that come with companies targeting consumers.
