Jamf Expands Partnership With Mac Admins Foundation as Visionary Sponsor of Global Conference Grants

Jamf, the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, today announced its Visionary Sponsorship of the Mac Admins Foundation (MAF) Community and Conference Grant Program. This marks an expanded partnership with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the global community of Apple administrators. Announced at the 2026 Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC), the partnership will help more admins attend community conferences around the world.

"You’ve heard us say it before; this is the greatest community in tech. There’s no place where that’s on display more than at community conferences," said Jake Bernardy, Vice President of Global Customer Success at Jamf. “The goal of this program is to help admins participate in events they wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend. It’s one thing to watch sessions online or engage virtually. It’s another to have a chance to join the hallway track, have lunch with peers from around the world, and for people to meet face-to-face who have helped each other solve real problems virtually.”

Growing together

Jamf and the Mac admin community have grown together for more than two decades, since Jamf launched Jamf Nation to provide a permanent home for industry admins. This week, the community’s passion for both Apple and Jamf is on display at the JNUC in Kansas City, Missouri, where the event’s 17^th gathering welcomed Apple admins from around the world.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see the community come together at admin conferences on a global scale,” said Jeni Asaba, Head of Community, Jamf. “There's such a willing spirit to share knowledge and support each other’s growth within the community. Through this sponsorship we’ll be able to create more of these meaningful experiences.”

Jamf was a founding sponsor when the Mac Admins Foundation launched in 2022. Its Visionary Sponsorship today builds on that history. The sponsorship extends Jamf's support beyond its own events to community gatherings worldwide, including conferences like the MacAdmins Conference at Penn State, MacAD.UK, Mac Admins Europe, MacSysAdmin, and many others. As Jamf prepares to celebrate its 25^th anniversary in 2027, it continues to invest in the community that fuels the industry.

“For new Mac admins, attending a conference in person creates a unique opportunity not only to gain knowledge but also to connect with others in the field who become colleagues, mentors, and friends,” said Mac Admins Foundation Co-Chair Chris Dawe. “Funding conference attendance for early-career professionals is a key way to grow the community and ensure its vitality, and we are thrilled that Jamf feels the same.”

Why face-to-face still matters

Remote work has made it easier than ever to learn from other admins online, and harder than ever to meet them face-to-face. The conversations that happen between sessions, over coffee and around the lunch table are where trust builds and careers take off, but cost and distance keep too many admins out. This partnership is designed to close that gap.
