MacTech Magazine announced today a massive event line up for 2012. Where in 2010, MacTech did a single event, and in 2011, MacTech produced seven events; in 2012, MacTech will hold FIFTEEN events spanning the country. MacTech's event line up includes a combination of well received MacTech Boot Camps for small-to-medium sized business consultants, its new MacTech InDepth series for deep dives on single topics, and its heralded three day MacTech Conference for IT Pros and Developers.
Nice to see MacTech expanding again next year. The Loop has once again signed on as a sponsor of these events for 2012.
