   Former Apple Executive Mike Shebanek Speaking at NMUG on 3 September 2025

   Adam Engst

   I don't usually share meeting announcements, but the [1]Naples
   MacFriends User Group (NMUG) has a particularly interesting
   presentation that they've invited TidBITS readers to attend for free.
   On Wednesday, 3 September 2025, at 11:30 AM EDT, [2]Mike Shebanek will
   be sharing stories from his 19 years at Apple, from 1994 through 2013.
   Throughout his Apple career, he rose from Senior Systems Engineer to
   Senior Product Manager and Product Line Manager in Apple's Worldwide
   Product Marketing group, leaving his mark on numerous groundbreaking
   products. He worked on the original iMac and other iMac models, helped
   transition the Mac from PowerPC to Intel processors, managed projects
   like Rosetta and Boot Camp, participated in the launch of the original
   iPad, and spent five years as Apple's head of Accessibility. His most
   lasting contribution may be his invention of the VoiceOver screen
   reader, which has made Apple devices accessible to visually impaired
   users. No membership is required, but [3]you must register to receive
   the meeting link. Questions may be submitted in advance.
