Mactech To Host Technical Events Across The Country In 2012

March 27, 2012 - PRLog -- -- WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA -- MacTech Magazine has announced 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 events spanning the country.  MacTech's event line up includes a combination of well received MacTech Boot Camps 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 US states and 15 countries around the globe.

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 fifteen 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."
