Cloud Tech Tallinn Conference - It was fun!
This was the fourth year that Cloud Tech Tallinn took place in chilly Estonia, and it was our first time attending. It was a short three-hour drive from Latvia, where the Master Packager team is based.
Every year, we try to support the community by sponsoring one to three events. These are great opportunities to share our knowledge and show off our software capabilities during sessions and at our booth. Our good friends from Robopack and Patch My PC were there as well.
The event took place in the Tallinn Creative Hub. This industrial-looking historic building used to be a boiler house for a power plant. Its 700-square-meter boiler room still contains two giant boilers that played a huge role in the city’s industrial history. Edijs and I had a great view of them; as video game fans, we felt like we were standing right inside a level!
We also got many compliments on our “I am Master Packager” mouse mats. A few attendees even called them “baby yoga mats,” ha ha! :)
Our session on standardizing packaging workflows for Intune attracted a lot of interest. It was great to see so many companies inspired to book a demo and learn the specific steps to bring packaging standardization to their own environments.
Many speakers talked about programming with AI, and we were lucky enough to attend a few sessions ourselves. They were actually fun! Usually, tech sessions can be quite dry, but these speakers were engaging and focused on real-life lessons.
Since this conference attracted so many developers, we saw unexpectedly high interest in the Master Packager Dev solution. This tool lets developers automate MSI and MSIX creation directly within their DevOps CI/CD pipelines. When they heard about the solution, many seemed ready to say, “Sounds amazing, but we probably can’t afford it,” since they’re used to these tools costing thousands of dollars per user. But when they learned our actual pricing, the reaction was usually, “Wow, I’ll take it!”
We’re committed to removing the obstacles that prevent vendors from creating the high-quality Windows application packages that end-users love, enterprises want, and the OS needs.
The next conference we’ll be sponsoring as a Gold partner is our favorite app management event - AppManagEvent. We’ll be there with a booth and a special session, and we hope to see you there in person!
Have an easy or hard package, because you’re a Master Packager!
p.s.
Our “Become a Master Packager” remote workshop is fully booked, and we had to say no to a few people. If you’d like to learn how to package any app with us, register here. If there’s enough interest, we may run another workshop this spring.
