Now that were past JNUC 2026, what were your favorite hidden gem sessions? For me, it was the Terraform/Infrastructure as Code hands on session!

Hi everyone, I'm an IT professional based in Bryan/College Station, Texas, with hands-on experience supporting and managing Apple devices in an educational environment. I'm a Jamf Certified Associate – Jamf Pro and have professional experience with Jamf Pro policies, configuration profiles, device enrollment, application deployment, inventory management, and macOS troubleshooting. I also have experience supporting Windows and ChromeOS environments. I'm currently exploring full-time opportunities in desktop support, Apple endpoint management, IT support, or related technical roles. I'm open to remote positions throughout Texas or onsite opportunities within commuting distance of Bryan/College Station. I'd appreciate any leads, recommendations, or connections within the Apple IT community. Thank you!

With the help of my fellow Jamf Heroes I managed to curate a list of past JNUC venues since 2019.  I’m sure I’m forgetting some memorable ones too so help me with two things.What is your favourite venue(s) for past JNUCs, or if you were only at one what did you think of it? Fill in any past JNUC venues that I’m missing.  I believe the first JNUC was in 2010.  My first was in 2019.2016 — Minneapolis, MN Jamf Nation Party: Brit's Pub  2017 — Minneapolis, MN Jamf Nation Party: ??? 2018 — Minneapolis, MN Jamf Nation Party: Minneapolis Event Center Jamf Heroes Party: First Year of Heroes, ​@JeniA intorduced it, no party 2019 — Minneapolis, MN Jamf Nation Party: The Minneapolis Depot Jamf Heroes Party:  Lakes and Legends Brewing Company 2022 — San Diego, CA Jamf Nation Party: USS Midway Jamf Heroes Party:  Storyhouse Spirits Rocketman Tech Party: ??? 2023 — Austin, TX Jamf Nation Party: Troublemaker Studios Jamf Heroes Party: Moonshine Bar & Tavern Rocketman Tech Party: ??? 2

Hey Jamf Nation! Welcome to another edition of Things to Do for JNUC — 2027 Edition! This time we are heading to sunny Southern California at the Anaheim Convention Center. JNUC 2027 is extra special as Jamf will be celebrating their 25th anniversary! Whether you're traveling from across the country or flying in internationally (I'm coming from Canada!), here’s a curated guide to help you plan your SoCal trip. Locals and Anaheim veterans, please share your insider tips and favorite hidden gems below! JNUC Highlights JNUC Party: The official conference party traditionally takes place on the 2nd night of JNUC (which typically makes it Wednesday evening). It’s always a major highlight. Expect great music, delicious food, and unmatched networking. Don’t miss it! Vendor Parties: Keep an eye out for evening side events with free drinks, appetizers, and fantastic giveaways. Please post below if you become aware of any vendor parties with open invites (like Rocketman Tech or others) so we ca

I asked JNUC Help about the rates for the hotels currently.  The cheapest currently available is $369 USD / night.  Here’s the reply I received on the subject.  I thought it was helpful enough to share for those concerned about the price.  I was able to find something affordable for myself even this early on:Thank you for reaching out, and I completely understand your concern about the rate—I know hotel costs can add up quickly, especially for a trip like this.Right now, we only have the Marriott available. We'll be opening the Hilton block in a couple of weeks—unfortunately, the hotel doesn't release the code until we're exactly a year out from the event, so my hands are a bit tied on timing there. I don't have the Hilton rate yet, but I'll share it as soon as it's available. These two hotels are the only ones Jamf has officially reserved room blocks with.I hear you on the $369 rate feeling steep, and I don't disagree—but that is actually a negotiated rate for Anaheim, which tends to

Four badges. Four conferences. One meaningful journey.Being a Mac admin in a long-established Windows enterprise can be a lonely road.Policies, security controls, governance, and expectations have evolved around the dominant platform. Understandably, people often expect Macs to operate like Windows PCs.But macOS isn’t Windows. It was never meant to be. And Apple devices are there to meet real business needs, including those of leadership.When we introduced Apple management through Jamf, I don’t think any of us—including me—fully appreciated the implications. As security tooling and controls expanded, maintaining reliable management and a consistent user experience grew more complex.Apple MDM doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It intersects with identity, networking, DNS, endpoint security, CASB, VPN, certificates, and more. Success requires cross-team expertise, cooperation, and a willingness to account for architectural differences.When those dependencies aren’t well understood, someone has t

Just wondering if anyone has any speculation on any announcements at JNUC Keynote this year.  Looking at the session catalog there’s lots on AI, SSO, DDM, Identity management, and OS update management.  The obvious is some announcement on AI but I’ve got nothing specific.I’m interested if anyone else has some speculation.

For the last couple of years a group of JNUC attendees has gone out for a run on the first morning before the keynote. We're doing it again in Kansas City, and everyone's welcome — I do mean everyone.Wednesday, September 23. Meet at 6:20am outside the Kansas City Convention Center's 13th Street entrance (301 W 13th St). We run at 6:30.It's roughly three miles. Down Main Street to Union Station, then we walk up Memorial Hill to the National WWI Museum together, where the whole downtown skyline is laid out below you in the light just before sunrise. Then back the same way. You'll be at the doors by 7:15 with plenty of time to shower before the 8:45 keynote.The important part: this is not a race and it is not a fast group. We run at a talking pace and we stay together. If you'd rather walk some of it, someone will walk with you. There's a shorter turnaround at 0.85 miles, and the KC Streetcar back up Main Street is free if you've had enough. Nobody gets left behind.If this is your first J
