    • During this time you can present information, quick demos, or a mix of both.
    • Sessions are held July 16 – 18

    • A full day workshop is 300 minutes divided into four 75-minute parts with breaks or lunch in between.
    • A half day workshop is 150 minutes divided into two 75-minute parts with a break in between.
    • Depending on how you want to do your workshop, you may have some time for in-depth demonstrations, hands-on instruction, or Q and A.
    • Workshop day is July 15.

NEW THIS YEAR: In response to feedback, we are trialing a small number of sessions to fit into shorter time slots (60 and 45 minute presentation sessions) Please note that we cannot offer a waived conference registration fee for more than one presenter for 45 minute sessions.

Reminder: This is a community event — so product and/or vendor sales pitches are limited to sponsored sessions. Learn how more about sponsorships on our website.

Co-presenters

While typical conference sessions feature one to two presenters, workshops can accommodate up to three presenters. Due to time constraints, only one presenter is allowed for 45-minute sessions. However, for longer sessions of 60 and 75 minutes, there is more flexibility to include multiple speakers.

Co-presenting at the MacAdmins Conference is an excellent way to collaborate and bring diverse perspectives to your session. This format offers a great opportunity to share the workload, increase audience engagement, and create a well-rounded presentation. Each co-presenter can contribute their unique expertise, making the session more dynamic and enriching for attendees.

Notifications

Submissions will be accepted and reviewed on a rotating basis. Speakers will have 5 business days to respond to notices of acceptance. (Even a “Thanks, I need to talk to someone to approve my travel” is a response). Failure to respond within 5 days will result in a revocation of the invitation to speak.

Presenter Package

Accepted speakers receive complimentary registration for the conference, which includes access to workshops, sessions, provided meals, and conference events. Presenters are responsible for arranging and payment of their travel to/from the conference and their lodging
