State College, Pennsylvania – The MacAdmins Conference, one of the world’s largest Apple-focused IT events, is pleased to announce the content lineup for its 2016 event, held June 27-30, 2016 at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center in State College, Pennsylvania.

Nearly 600 IT professionals from Higher Ed, K-12, Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and independent consultancies will gather at the 7th annual MacAdmins Conference to learn from industry experts on a wide variety of Apple-focused deployment and management topics, from networking and monitoring to development, package deployment, and end-user support.

“We’re incredibly proud to have fostered such a vibrant and passionate community at MacAdmins,” said Gretchen Kuwahara, conference team member. “Every year we see senior system administrators with decades of experience as well as first-time Mac support specialists, and everyone in between, gather to share stories, learn from each other, and celebrate the Apple platforms and products that tie our passions to our careers.”

This year at MacAdmins, attendees will participate in one of the five full-day workshops to kick off the event, and then customize their experience by choosing from the 60 technical sessions offered at the event. A small sampling of session titles includes:

* GRAPH ALL THE THINGS: Alerting and Monitoring for Mac Admins

* Kickoff Dinner – Start the conference right by celebrating with food and friends
* Be Our Guest – Dinner and hop-on hop-off bus tours of campus and downtown State College
* Stump the MacAdmins Experts – Battle to see whose sysadmin knowledge reigns supreme

“We like to think of MacAdmins as summer camp for Apple Professionals,” said Rusty Myers, conference team member. “People come to learn, and find themselves being a part of a caring, supportive community.”
