Entra ID is the current inheritor of the mantle of Active Directory. No, don’t be afraid, we’re not going to do any binding on this show. We’re going to give you the brass tacks for what Microsoft is using Entra for, how Mac Admins should think about it, and how it fits into the modern world for Mac Admins.

Who loves VPNs? Folks in the network security team, please put your hands down - we weren’t asking you… Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way that we could offer privacy and protection out there in that wretched hive of scum and villainy we call the internet? Wouldn’t it be even better if it was baked into the operating system so each vendor wasn’t just making things up as they go? Apple announced iCloud private relay in 2021, and in 2023 we got what I guess you could call the “Enterprise version” - Network Relays. Today we have Matt Vlasach here to talk about why Network Relays are awesome and how we can use them to make Apple devices more secure and useable

Do you find that life is like trying to understand code without comments? Many of us are discovering later in life that there is a word that explains why the unwritten rules of life just don’t seem to make sense. Rowan Quigley recently presented at JNUC in Nashville around how workplaces can embrace Neurodiversity, catering for neurodivergent folks as well as neurotypicals.
