Please join us for a day of sessions highlighting Apple and JAMF Software technologies, and techniques for their adoption in the enterprise. If you're familiar with our yearly National User Conference, this single-day event will feature abbreviated versions of some of the best presentations from that event. In addition, members of the JAMF Software user community in your area will be presenting, sharing their knowledge and discussing best practices.
All user conferences are free and open to users of JAMF Software technology (Casper Suite, Recon Suite, Imaging Suite and Composer), our partner community, and anyone committed to the success of the Apple platform.
This is a crucial time in the evolution of Mac and iOS devices in the enterprise and we have reached a day that many have long hoped would arrive. Now that the Apple platform is experiencing widespread growth and acceptance, we are committed to help ensure that IT administrators have the knowledge and tools they need to help their peers and organizations succeed with the Apple platform.
In order to ensure a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere, we are limiting attendance for this event. Please register in advance if you plan on attending.
Spend time meeting and sharing knowledge with other members of the community over the course of the day. In addition to the scheduled sessions, there will be opportunities to meet with peers and share techniques in an informal manner. As many who have attended conferences can attest, the hallway conversations and opportunities to share knowledge with peers can be among the most interesting and valuable aspects. We anticipate that this day will be no exception.

As organizations discover the expanding uses of iOS devices on a large scale, there are often varying levels of understanding about the management options and workflows available to IT administrators.

Since the release of the first iPhone, iOS devices have seen an ever-growing presence in enterprise organizations. As the number of iOS devices in an organization increases, IT needs the ability to ensure the necessary applications or "Apps" are available so that end users can accomplish their goals. In this session we will discuss the available tools for App distribution and examine common workflows that many organizations are using.

With the release of OS X Lion, we're beginning to see elements from the iOS operating system influence OS X, including the Multi-Touch trackpad, Launchpad, iCloud, and the integration of OS X clients into the APNs infrastructure. Perhaps one of the most helpful new features is the ability to use Configuration Profiles on your Macs. Join us in this session as we discuss Configuration Profiles and how you can use them to manage OS X Lion clients with the JSS.

In an IT landscape that is rapidly changing, and with new concepts being introduced such as the "consumerization" of IT, Self Service can be a systems administrator's best friend. Self Service has been part of the Casper Suite for many years. It has proven to be an invaluable tool for providing end users with the ability to install applications on a per-need basis, while still maintaining IT's control of assets. In this session, we'll discuss recent additions made to the Self Service functionality, as well as a new perspective on how it can benefit both the end user and systems administrator - beyond packages.
