Question
JNUC 2013 - Thank you! (and ideas for 2014?)
+16
+36Compile the music played at JNUC and offer it for sale (via iTunes Store?). I'm sure the artists would like the idea. The eclectic mix was great last year, and even mo' great this year. I'm hoping others feel the same way. :)

+12Have QR codes on our name badges that send an email of your contact data and other pertinent data the person who scans them. For example "Hey its Joe user, we met at such and such and such time and I work for x company. I enjoyed chatting it up and now I can reconnect with you after the event." I've seen it done at other conferences and it can be a really quick way to send out and remember who all you connected with at the event. I also believe the event organizer leveraged some metrics on who all communicated which was helpful for internal planing and what not for future events.
+7I think the conference would be great for the beginners if there was a lab track covering a lot of the basics (intro to policies, etc. Then the talks could be catered to be big idea talks and more panels. I find the talks to be most useful when they're focused on bigger ideas with a lot of technical information (not necessarily demos). Lab formats would be great for introducing the more junior members of the community to scripting and other cornerstones of more advanced techniques to manage the Macs.
Oh and more free liquor tickets next JNUC happy hour please :).
+36I was thinking of something similar to @mzago's suggestion. Something like JumpStart refreshers for particular subjects.
And more drink tickets would not suck. d:-)
+35Can the passes have the JAMFNation avatars & handles?
+3I really like the QR code Idea. it might be worth mentioning that, maybe this should just be a short link to our jamf nation profile. I would also like to see a Friend/Connect/Follow button for social links, as well as facebook as an option.
+11Voting up the QR code idea, populated with contact info, maybe email/Twitter/LinkedIn/etc.? That's only a hair over a thousand, right--not counting late arrivals? Should be no problem. ;)
+3Also Voting up the QR code idea, lots of people you meet and not always enough cards to have/pass out or even remember to bring them

+17QR codes on the badges as mentioned would be great. Maybe an authentic JAMFNation/JNUC mobile app would be even better...maybe with a QR code reader built in ;)
+19+1 That's a great idea for the QR code. Makes it so much easier to give and get info from users.
+7Post session schedules earlier! Even if they are a rough guide.
Company wants me to book flights way early so as to theoretically save money (though booking a month out was actually more expensive than 2 weeks out... stupid Delta). It'd be nice to be able to have a better idea of whats going on the last day before booking flights.
+12Las Vegas !!
Make the presentations available on iPads or some other means. There was so much valuable information that isn't posted and couldn't be written fast enough, especially since you cannot attend all of the sessions. Great information to share with management and use as a guide moving forward.
Please make the slides for all sessions available soon.
+4I loved this year! As someone who just started with Jamf a few months ago, I vote for the idea of having a jumpstart refresher as well. I know where I want to learn a lot of the things that most already know, it would be nice to have a two hour session (or more) one day on a lot of intro topics like scripting (I would love to learn more about this. I unfortunately had to miss this presentation in favor of another that I really needed to go to at the same time) and pushing packages.
I know I was up on the endless bridge a lot (thanks to David Fink and his guys) and asked them to run me through a lot of the features and what they do. It would be awesome to have this as a long session for beginners. Thanks!
+13I know it has been put in the "Yes" and then "No" categories in the past, but any chance we could get JAMF swag on the store? Keep the Hoodie special as you like, but at least let us buy polo shirt and t-shirts. At worst its free walking billboards for JAMF, at best its a small revenue stream.
Just my $0.02
+21@david.yenzer, did you go to the event on Wednesday night? There was a monster stack of JAMF bags and coasters to take what you like. Well...at least I did when I headed out. It wasn't obvious though so I don't blame you for feeling unhappy if you missed them.
+21Y'all have great ideas.
+1 for the QR codes
+1 for the Avatars and Handles on the badges (you're already printing a custom badge per person...)
+1 for more drink tickets
Personally, I'd pay an extra fee to have fast and reliable private WiFi. You could sign up ahead of time for it during registration so you can get an idea of how many people will be using it and ask how many devices they plan to use. Have a cut off date. The hard part isn't getting the bandwidth to the building, it's the WiFi infrastructure.
I don't have much else to add really. The event was great. I am concerned that if you get much bigger the Guthrie won't sustain your needs, which is too bad because it has character unlike a traditional conference facility. The 9th floor theater was often at or over capacity for seating.
Get the presentations and videos out as fast as you can! And then do it twice as fast as you can.
If you need to bring any users to Europe, let me know. ;)
+9Any ideas on dates for 2014? I would love to try and come along.
As for wifi trouble, how many people do you have come to these? We have a big conference every 6 months and have a pretty good wifi set up for these, maybe you could take a look at our set up in our May at Warsaw? Oh and you could run the CSE in warsaw instead of Amsterdam that week so I don't miss it :D
