The MacAdmins Conference is built by the community, for the community. Each year, we invite MacAdmins from around the world to share their knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned with peers who manage and support Apple environments every day.

We’re looking for engaging, well-crafted sessions that reflect the real work of Apple administrators. Whether that’s a deep technical dive, a case study from your environment, workflow improvements, tool overviews, essential admin skills, or the soft skills that help teams thrive. First-time speakers are encouraged to submit! You don’t need to be an expert, just willing to share what you’ve learned. If you have something you’ve built, tried, or figured out that could help others, we’d love for you to be part of one of the premier Apple ecosystem conferences in the world.
