Next week Tuesday is the start of MacSysAdmin Online!. It is, yet again, painful that we cannot meet in person. The sessions will be available for free every day according to the program. You can still support the conference by purchasing a T-shirt. When you do so you will get a small surprise from Scripting OS X, as well. And then we have JNUC later this month. This conference is also free to participate, but requires registration. It is not too late! More links at my overview of the most important MacAdmin conferences.
