Comment Suggestions for the Apple technologist (Score 3, Informative) 131
In chronological order looking forward:
MacTech Boot Camps - http://www.mactech.com/bootcam...
Small, local, inexpensive. Check to see if there's one close to you.
MacTech Conference - http://www.mactech.com/confere...
Larger, both sysadmin and developer tracks
MacIT - http://www.macitconf.com/
Larger, multiple tracks and levels of knowledge
WWDC - https://developer.apple.com/ww...
The granddaddy of them all, but next to impossible to get into these days. Mostly developer focused. May not be useful if you don't already have a deep knowledge base.
MacAdmins - http://macadmins.psu.edu/
The most education-focused of the conferences. Very knowledgeable presenters.
FWIW, I've been a presenter at MacTech Boot Camps, MacIT, and WWDC.
