The MacIT 2014 Call for Speakers is now live. MacIT will be held in San Francisco, California, on March 26-29, 2014. In short, we’re looking for people who have experience as Mac system administrators who want to share their expertise and network with other Mac sysadmins.
Personally, here are some things for which I’d love to see MacIT proposals:
- creating heterogeneous IT environments — How did you go from a homogeneous environment to a heterogeneous one? What did you learn along the way? What would you do differently? What caused you to move to a heterogeneous environment?
- integrating Macs and iOS into enterprise IT — How did you manage the transition? How did you train your staff? What changes did you have to make to your infrastructure?
- Mac virtualization beyond the desktop — Don’t get me wrong, I love the Fusion team and use it myself, but there’s a lot more to virtualization than just running Fusion on your desktop. What are you using to provide a virtual Mac infrastructure? What kinds of applications are you using in your virtual Mac infrastructure? What kinds of users use your virtual Mac infrastructure?
The Call for Speakers has additional topic ideas, too. Don’t feel limited by what I’ve listed here!
If you’re interested in speaking at MacIT but aren’t sure if you’ve got a good topic, I’d be happy to chat with you and brainstorm an awesome topic for you. Just ping me.
