What is MacTech Conference?
MacTech Conference is a technical conference with one aim: to raise the level of knowledge for its attendees.
“The whole idea of the MacTech Conference is to allow members of the Apple community to meet and exchange ideas,” said Edward Marczak, Conference Chair and Executive Editor of MacTech Magazine. “This will be spurred on by presentations from some of the best and well-known experts in the community.”
The MacTech Conference will have two separate tracks: one focused on IT, and one focused on programming/development. Sessions will focus on both desktop and mobile, with appropriate levels of attention paid to the Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod.
MacTech Conference 2010 was a tremendous success. If you want to know more about the 2010 event, you can do a web search, or see the recap article by Rob Griffiths at Macworld.
Who Should Attend?
IT and Developer professionals that focus on the Macintosh and Apple technologies.
Why Should I Attend?
You’re going to leave a better, more connected tech. We want you to learn better ways of working directly from the people that are already putting new tools and practices to work. When you’re ready, go register here.
You’ll be in an immersive environment with your peers and the best talent in the Apple community. MacTech Conference will provide opportunities for structured and unstructured conversations. Think of it as the ultimate hallway session.
Most importantly, before you’re a great Mac tech, you need to be a great tech. The comprehensive list of sessions looks to lay the foundation that taps you into the topics that you need to be a great tech. See the list of topics for more specific information.
By raising your level of knowledge, in turn, you raise up the entire Apple community. As a community, then, great things can be accomplished.
How do MacTech’s Boot Camp and Conference differ?
While both events can be of interest to anyone technical, the focus of MacTech Conference is a three-day immersive conference for IT Pros, Consultants, and Developers that focus on the Macintosh and Apple technologies. MacTech Boot Camp, on the other hand, is a one day event specifically for those supporting home users and the small to medium sized markets.
Packed Schedule. Morning ’til Night.

All Meals Included
This is an immersive conference, and as such, the time you spend with peers you know and new people that you meet is as important as the sessions themselves. We’ll be feeding you throughout the event not only to make it all inclusive, but also so that you can maximize your time with other attendees. For more information on meals, special hotel rates and more, see our hotel and travel page.
Space is Limited
We have a limited number of conference attendee spots and hotel rooms available. As a conference with hundreds &em; not thousands &em; of people, we want you to have time to get to know people.
