Sponsorship has allowed us great pre- and post- event promotion, and the event itself is perfect for meaningful interaction with potential clients. Outside of mere sponsorship, we enjoy knowing that we are helping enable an educational event. So, thanks MacTech, not only for helping the Apple admin community grow, but for allowing us a wonderful opportunity to interact with our clientele.”

MacTech has consistently given us one of the most valuable ways for us to connect with consultants and IT Pros recommending and supporting Microsoft Office for Mac. In fact, MacTech Conference was the best Apple related show we have been a part of in the last 2 years.”

“eSellerate has proudly sponsored Mac related events since our inception in 2000 and the MacTech conference proved a wonderful addition to that list. Speakers were both informative and creative (think pirate costume), logistics were effortless and the schedule allowed for both casual conversation and deeper, more serious discussion. In all, it was a well-balanced event that already has us penciling in the 2011 version for attendance and sponsorship.”

– Michele Johannes, eSellerate/MindVision

“We had a very successful showing at the MacTech Conference. Our app sales made the top 10 in the Education category during the event, and I’ve got a large number of pre-release reservations for our new SkyWire product. Our demo was well received, and in addition to the exposure at the event, we got great media coverage. Thanks again for the opportunity.”

MacTech Boot Camp 2012 Schedule

Unlike many other seminars and conferences, MacTech Boot Camp and MacTech InDepth doesn’t hem anyone into rigid structures. We don’t force talks to conform to an arbitrary block of time that works for the event, but not the presenter. Due to this, we don’t list exact times here, but instead more of a ‘running order.’ This invites discussion from participants and allows a natural flow to the event. It also means that we get more content into your day.

Like military generals say, “no plan survives contact with the enemy.” While the below is our plan, you should expect the unexpected.

With that in mind, here are the details you need to plan your travel and such for the day.



8:15 AM: Registration (not available until 8:15am)

9:00 AM: Sessions Begin

Mid-Morning: Break

Approx 12:30pm: Lunch

Mid-Afternoon: Break

6:00 PM: Conclusion

Detailed schedules are continually updated through the day of the event.
