So… unlike last year, where the Macaduk videos were released slowly - at the rate of one or two a week, this time - the team at Jigsaw24 turned the videos around incredibly quickly. So kudos to Jigsaw… and now I’m the one who’s taking too long in adding the blog post to go with the video…

As I said at the time… slides are never really finished… but I’ve gone back and added some proper photo credits that I didn’t quite have time for when up against a deadline… and I’ve also tidied up and removed some of the placeholder and hidden slides that didn’t quite make the cut.

I’m pleased with the final result… but must admit I’m a little sad at the low attendance - not that you can see it on the video of course… Going up against Macadmins Podcast legend Tom Bridge is always going to be a tough one - and on the last day of the conference too, where I know some international folks had to leave early…

…but on the plus side, the video itself has had over 100 views so far.

I also didn’t know I could embed Google Slides in a blog post… but, turns out I can, so here are the slides too…

Panel Beating…

I also got invited to appear as part of a panel discussion this year. Certainly a great honour, and not something I’ve done before. Hopefully I sound like I know what I’m talking about - but hey, you be the judge.

I’m still proud of the fact I’ve been able to attend every Macaduk from the very beginning… it’s been a joy to watch the conference just get better and better over the years. Here’s to Macaduk 2026!
