MacTech Conference 2011 has announced its list of speakers, and it’s a great list. We already knew Guy Kawasaki would be giving the keynote, but add to that more focused talks by Daniel Jalkut, Aaron Hillegass, Andy Ihnatko, Justin McWilliams, TUAW alum Justin Esgar. Many more will be there imparting their wisdom in an extensive lineup of sessions.
This year’s MacTech Conference begins November 2 in Los Angeles, and we’ll be there on the ground to give you daily coverage, plus interviews and app demos after the event. MacTech Conference last year was quite impressive, and each year there are two tracks: one for IT and one for developers. The list for this year looks great for both tracks. Check out the full press release below.
Oh, and early bird pricing ends August 8, so if you’re thinking about attending you may want to register soon.
