macOS 26: What You Need To Know
Need the lowdown on what's up with the latest version of macOS? This session will be your guide into the new features and changes coming in macOS 26, and how they'll affect you and your users, and what need to focus on in testing.

In this session, we'll cover all of the important changes, from an IT perspective, as well as what you need to do to be ready to support the new OS release on Day 0.
