As we look forward to Macstock X in 2026, I’d like to close out Macstock 9 with a simple word of thanks to everyone who helped make Macstock 9 one of the absolute highlights of my year.

We’ll need to start with Macstock’s presenters including (in the order they presented) Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Mike Schmitz, Kirschen Seah, Jill McKinley, Katie Fawkes & Doc Rock, Dave Ginsburg, Allison Sheridan, Chris Cooke, Brittany Smith, Brett Terpstra, Mike Burke, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, and Will Jencius who all put so much time and effort into sharing their knowledge to make Macstock Weekend educational and fun for everyone.

And let’s not forget Dave Hamilton, Pilot Pete, and Adam Christianson as well as Chuck Joiner and the MacVoices Live panel for their Special Macstock Editions of Mac Geek Gab and MacVoices!

To our volunteers, Bob Potter, Cindy Rotz, Roger Harmon, Brian Henson, and of course, my wife Janet for the energy and enthusiasm they all put into another successful weekend. I literally couldn’t do it without each and every one of you!

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors beginning with Katie Fawkes & Doc Rock of Ecamm for their incredible support of Macstock all weekend long including Ecamm Studios, the Sweet Connections Mixer, and their Workshop Saturday morning. The team at Ecamm didn’t just sponsor Macstock, they actively embraced our Macstock community and became a part of it. Learn more about Ecamm and Ecamm Live at ecamm.com.

Thank you to Macstock Sponsor JOhn Rokos at OpenCase and the give-away sponsorship for Macstock 9 which included three fantastic prize packages that we awarded over the weekend to Macstock attendees John, Tim, and Mallory…congratulations to all 3 of you! Learn more about OpenCase and their versatile MagSafe Cases at theopencase.com.

And to YOU, the attendees and the greater Macstock Community. Whether you support from afar or you purchased a Weekend Pass or a Digital Pass to Macstock 9, you are part of my Macstock Family and you are the reason I do this and you are the reason we’re all here. If it was your first Macstock, your 3rd, or if you’ve been to every one, your love and support of Macstock means the world to me.

Thank you all!
MIke
