What is MacDay LA?
MacDayLA™ is a full day — 9am - 9pm — of fun & knowledge featuring:
- Exciting software & hardware presentations.
Active demos - no canned presentations! They don't just show it; they actually teach it! - Breakfast & Lunch Table Topics — Expert-moderated discussions.
Buy your meal, then bring it to your table of choice joining the discussion. We'll always have several tables, each with an expert host. Discussions can go in any direction. Have an issue? Bring it up. Question? Ask it. (For upcoming topics see agenda page.) - Tip Times — Learn valuable tips from top experts and other attendees
Tips are scattered through the day between feature presentations in the Presentation Hall. - Question & Answer sessions — with experts and audience participation to provide solutions
- Visiting Vendors
We'll have a few vendors demonstrating wares and selling onsite.
(Please understand this is not a expo, though. We produce the MacGathering™ for that.) - Vendor Discounts — Purchase Mac-related products at special MacDayLA prices.
There will be some onsite discounts and other discount offers as well. - Apple/Mac-related news discussion — Hear about the latest in the Apple world.
- Socializing!
You'll have plenty of opportunities to hang out with other Mac users, vendors and experts. - Optional Instruction — reasonably-priced comprehensive classes (upcoming classes)
- Prizes! — Chances to win terrific Mac-related products
The more often you attend, the more chance to win.
Over a dozen great prizes to be won in May thanks to RadTech, Belkin, MacAlly, Ettore Software, Fixamac Software, and St. Clair Software. - PARTY!
Evening time is party time. Excellent live music, a cash bar, and cool Mac people to mix with.
In March we had the honor of being the LA filming location for MacHEADS the movie. We look forward to contributing to it in any ways possible in the future.

A word to software, hardware, and other companies
MacDayLA™ was born out of numerous requests from both Mac users and the makers/sellers of Mac-related products. We do not charge our feature presenters. In addition to featured presenters, we can host a few vendors who wish to show/sell Mac-related products. There is a small fee to do so and we must be familiar with your products and feel able to recommend them.
