With explosive growth, MacTech announces plans to serve communities across the country
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Dec. 20, 2011 — MacTech Magazine announced today a massive event line-up for 2012. Where in 2010, MacTech did a single event, and in 2011, MacTech produced seven events – in 2012, MacTech will hold FIFTEEN events spanning the country. MacTech's event line-up includes a combination of well-received MacTech Boot Camp for small-to-medium sized business consultants, its new MacTech InDepth series for deep dives on single topics, and its heralded three-day MacTech Conference for IT Pros and Developers.
MacTech Boot Camp is specifically designed for those techs and consultants supporting home users, small office/home office (SOHO), and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMB). This one day, hotel-based seminar is designed specifically to help you be the most successful consultant you can be.
MacTech InDepth events focus on a single topic for the day, covering it from top to bottom. Based on MacTech's proven approach for delivering a great deal of content in a short period of time, MacTech's events combine expert speakers with hand-picked vendors to bring attendees a solid understanding of the main issues surrounding a topic, answers and methodology, as well as offerings by leading solution providers.
MacTech Conference is the annual 3-day event for IT Pros, Enterprise, and programmers/developers. This is an international event: from speakers to attendees, those in the industry come from all over 40 U.S. states and 15 countries around the globe.
Most events are one day. Three cities have back-to-back one-day events where attendees can take part in one day, or the other, or both. The events start in mid-February, and carry all the way through December 2012. Specifically:

"We are thrilled with the reaction from our attendees and sponsors at all of our events. We've found how to build community, help people learn and network, and make for an awesome experience," said Neil Ticktin, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher of MacTech Magazine. "Next month, I've been publisher of MacTech for 20 years. I have never gone into a year more excited than I am about 2012."
Event sponsors are fully integrated into the event as well with MacTech's QuickTalk, and sponsor tables. "Microsoft is excited to be a sponsor of all 15 MacTech events in 2012. 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," said Susie McDonald, Microsoft Office Marketing Manager. "In fact, MacTech Conference was the best Apple-related show we have been a part of in the last 2 years."
Registration for all events is open now. Those wanting to make sure they don't miss out, or do some last-minute spending of 2011 budgets can take advantage of not only early-bird pricing, but multiple event discounts. Where one-day events are normally $495 on-site, early-bird pricing is $295. MacTech Conference will hold the same pricing as 2011, with $1299 on-site registration, and $799 early bird. Anyone registering for more than one event can save $50 per event.
