Come join us in fabulous Sandy, Oregon for MacCamp, a weekend-long experience focusing on in-depth instruction and hands-on training opportunities far beyond the General Meeting presentations. The friendly social atmosphere (with great snacks and available hot tub) provides additional learning opportunities and the frequent occurrences of new friendships.
The fall is when Apple usually releases new versions of their operating systems, and we are planning to cover the latest updates to macOS 15 Sequoia, iOS & iPadOS 18, and visionOS 2. We are planning on additional classes, and if you are interested, please let us know what you want to see at info@pmug.org
