Macstock 2022:Play!
Can “work” be something to love?
Whether working for yourself or for someone else, studies have shown that fostering a fun work environment through music, games, or hobbies often leads to increased productivity. When you attend Macstock, you’ll hear community-leading experts consider the theme “Play” and share innovative new ways to make life more enriching, happy, and playful!
And because this is Macstock, you’ll also have a unique opportunity to meet other members of the Apple community from around the globe who’ll also be visiting Macstock this summer!
Be sure to join us for the 6th Annual Macstock Conference coming your way soon!
IMPORTANT UPDATE (updated 2/28/2021): Due to the ongoing global pandemic, Macstock has been officially postponed to a future date yet to be confirmed. I’m targeting the 4th weekend of July 2022.
