Macstock X Live Stream: March Announcements!

by | Mar 8, 2026 | Macstock News, Macstock X

For most of us reading this, we “lost” an hour of sleep overnight. 😴

Oh, I know there are ways to trick your brain into thinking you got the same amount of sleep as the night before, but if you’re like me, you were probably up when the computer clock strapped to your wrist struck 3 bells, when it should have been striking 2.

And, I’ll admit: In the era of computer-driven, auto-adjusting clocks, there’s something delightfully, weirdly, wonderful about watching the numbers automatically tick from 2am to 3am within the blink of an eye.

But as time marches on, so does Macstock X!

Speaking of time, Macstock will be here before we know it and I was having a heckuva time working out this year’s schedule to accommodate as many of the awesome talk submissions that I received as possible. But yesterday it just clicked. I’m not sure why my brain gears were skipping as much as they were — and maybe it helped to have the knowledge that I was losing an hour this weekend — but yesterday, after a couple weeks of arranging and rearranging rows and columns within Numbers, everything just slipped neatly into place!

So, with the schedule done, I can now let you know that Macstock X Weekend will be packed with 8 workshop-length 90 min sessions and up to 8 standard 45 min sessions, PLUS (another) something new for Macstock that we’re cooking up for Saturday evening. And we’ll be announcing that on the next Macstock live stream.

AND I can also tell you that during the upcoming week I’m going to begin sending emails to accept yet another Macstock Weekend full of amazing talks submitted by some of the best voices from within the Apple community.

So now, I hear you asking, with something new planned for Saturday evening AND a fresh round of presenters to share, you’d actually like to know WHEN the next Macstock live stream will be?

Well, I’m happy to share that with you!

The next Macstock X Live Stream will take place on March 13th, 2026!

Here are the details:

Come hang out with Macstock Organizer Mike Potter (that’s me) and my guest, Marty Jencius, for all the latest updates on Macstock X coming your way July 2026 for Macstock’s 10th Year!

Marty will join me to share our idea for a more hands-on, interactive, experience that we’ve been working on for Saturday evening (No, Guy, it’s not Cheap Trick — Janet WISHES!!!). We’ll also announce the first round of speakers for Macstock X, give an update on Weekend Pass sales — as well as “last call” for Early Bird pricing — answer any questions you might have, and cover just about anything else that comes to mind!
