2026 MacAdmins Conference

This full-day workshop combines two half-day workshops.

In the morning:
How to edit your terrible tech writing
Everything you write as an engineer is technical writing — email, computer dialogs, how-to guides, presentations, or scripts.

Today, we’re fighting our audience’s short attention span to get our messages across. But whose fault is it if they don’t pay attention? Optimize your writing to give it impact.

In a half-day workshop, I can’t teach you how to write technical documentation, but I can show you how to improve what you have.

There’s no such thing as good writing — only good editing.

In the afternoon:
Troubleshooting Inclusion: Leveraging Neurodivergent Strengths for Effective Collaboration
Neurodivergent IT admins bring unique strengths to their teams, but effective collaboration requires understanding and communication. This workshop focuses on helping neurotypical colleagues appreciate neurodivergent perspectives and empowers neurodivergent admins to advocate for their needs, learn strategies to foster inclusion, improve teamwork, and turn differences into opportunities for growth. This will be an open discussion and ALL are welcome.

Shell scripting is a core skill for MacAdmins, but it’s often learned piecemeal under pressure. This hands-on workshop covers scripting fundamentals with a strong focus on real-world macOS workflows and good reliable scripting habits. We’ll talk through common pitfalls, testing strategies, and best practices for writing and deploying scripts via MDM. Whether you’re brand new or filling in gaps, you’ll leave with practical skills and confidence.
