Jamf turned to the Mac cloud experts at MacStadium to create code and processes in the short 11-week period leading up to the virtual conference. With Jamf looking to virtually replicate the community, knowledge sharing, and hands-on experiences that in-person attendees had come to know and love, they needed to find a way to make the interactive labs happen without the ability to physically hand out the hardware. Making Virtual Labs a Reality with Orka Platform It was a massive undertaking – and while no incidents ever occurred during those 11 years, when COVID-19 forced the conference to go to an online-only format, Jamf needed a way to give their 17,000 attendees access to the full lab experience - all from the comfort and safety of their own homes. They also needed a security detail to watch the secure storage for the devices overnight for the duration of the conference. The process was incredibly labor-intensive, with a team of eight making sure the devices were charged, wiped between sessions, and checked in and out properly.
An incredible learning opportunity for attendees, but one that required Jamf to set up, manage, and reset roughly 120 pieces of hardware for every single lab experience throughout the three days.
At these labs, attendees get hands-on experience with Jamf and macOS through provided MacBooks. A staple part of this experience has always been the Interactive Labs. For the past 11 years, Jamf has hosted its annual Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) to bring together thousands of the brightest minds in Apple device management for three days of learning, listening, and interaction.
