Q: What do you get when you cross 3+ Tables of No Longer Needed Hardware with a room full of Macstock attendees looking for new toys to play with?
A: The Macstock Swap Trading Zone!
After an incredibly successful run at Macstock 2017, the Macstock Swap is Back once again for Macstock 2018!
Designed as a place to help recycle your old, working, gear by delivering it into the hands of folks you know will treasure it as much as you once did, the Macstock Swap Trading Zone is a place for folks to drop off old Apple stuff and pick up new (to you) Apple stuff from others in trade!

You knew this was coming, right?!?
The Privacy Policy for the Macstock Conference and Expo website has been updated effective May 24, 2018.
Quite honestly, it’s not a whole lot different than the previous policy because keeping your information private is of utmost importance to me, but some of the changes include adding a link for the Privacy Policy to the Contact Us menu of the website as well as explaining in more detail how your information is used as a visitor to the Macstock website and as an attendee of the in-person Macstock Conference.

With “Dr. Mac” kicking off the weekend this year and the newly released documentary, Love Notes to Newton wrapping things up on Sunday, this year is already shaping up to be the best Macstock yet! But it certainly wouldn’t be Macstock without an amazing lineup of speakers, and this year is no exception!
Welcoming faces both familiar and new to Macstock attendees, Macstock 2018 is proud to announce a stellar group of folks who bring with them to the stage a rich knowledge of Apple’s hardware and software that will help you get the most from your Apple devices and apps!
This year’s roster of speakers includes:
Wally Cherwinski Adam Christianson
Dave Ginsburg Kelly Guimont
Chuck Joiner Bob LeVitus
Jean MacDonald Mike Schmitz
Allison Sheridan Brett Terpstra
With talks ranging from creating productive workflows with your Apple hardware, to discovering cool new apps you should be using, to productivity gaining tools like tagging and markup, you’re sure to walk away from Macstock 2018 having learned something new and exciting to try when you get home!
And we can’t forget the MyMac Quiz with Tim Robertson and Guy Serle!
A favorite of Macstock 2017 and returning in 2018, the banter between Tim, Guy, and the audience is key, making the MyMac Game Show a fun, interactive quiz in which the audience at Macstock has many opportunities to get sponsored prizes while laughing along with Tim and Guy and their fellow attendees!
And there’s only ONE place you can find two days of great talks, a special screening of Love Notes to Newton, plus that fantastic community spirit that makes being an Apple user so special, and that’s at Macstock 2018!
See you in July!

We’ve got a couple really cool new things in store for you at Macstock 2018!
With a theme centered around Productivity in 2018, one of those new additions I’m excited to share with you is that for the first time, Macstock will have a featured Keynote Speaker! And this year’s keynote presenter is Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus!
Often referred to as “Dr. Mac,” Bob is a leading authority on the Macintosh, Mac OS X / macOS, and other Apple products such as the iPad and iPhone. One of the Apple community’s most trusted gurus for over twenty-five years, he’s known for his trademark humorous style and unerring ability to translate “techie” jargon into usable and fun advice for regular folks.
