Jamf Nation Live 2026 recap

Jamf Nation Live 2026 is a wrap.

From New York City in April to Jamf HQ in Minneapolis last week, we spent six weeks on the road meeting the people who make Apple work at their organizations — the admins, IT directors and security practitioners doing the hard work every day. It was good to be in the room with you.

What we covered

Each stop included three breakout sessions, built around the topic's admins told us mattered most right now.

Blueprints: beyond the basics

We dug into how blueprints, configuration profiles and software updates powered by declarative device management (DDM) simplify deployment, compliance and policy management. Attendees walked away with a clearer picture of what's new with blueprints and a practical path for migrating from legacy configurations.

Foundations of unified access

This session explored how Jamf Account Single Sign-On, Platform APIs and the authorization platform work individually and together. The through-line: a more consolidated, secure and scalable experience for admins managing Jamf environments at scale.

Mobile at scale: go beyond step 2

Deployed is not optimized. This interactive session tackled four common initiatives organizations are actively working through: shared devices with contextual policies, layered mobile security, BYOD programs and user autonomy at scale.

What attendees had to say

The best part of JNL isn't on the agenda, it's the people in the room. Here's what some of them had to say:

"I would absolutely recommend attending a Jamf Nation Live event. The experience is awesome. Connecting with other admins is invaluable. It's a cool thing to do."

"It's become more of a strategic partnership rather than just another vendor, which is why we continue to use Jamf."

"The Jamf community actually participates and collaborates a lot together, whereas a lot of platforms that we use don't necessarily have the greatest community for just being able to chat together and find solutions together."

"…the opportunity to come and see people actually speak to the product and walk us through how to use it, and one-on-one answers sounded great."

Six cities, one community

New York City. Atlanta. Seattle. Fremont. Chicago. Minneapolis. Every city brought a different crowd and the same energy — people genuinely invested in doing Apple device management well and connecting with others who get it.

What's next

JNL’s may be done, but the conversation doesn't stop here. JNUC (Jamf Nation User Conference) 2026 is coming. JNUC brings thousands of admins, IT leaders and security practitioners together for sessions, hands-on labs and the kind of conversations that are hard to have anywhere else. If JNL got you thinking, JNUC is where you go deeper.
