Workbrew in Japan: Connecting with the Jamf Community in Tokyo
In May, we had the opportunity to join the Jamf Macadmin User Group (JMUG) for their meetup in Tokyo. It was a strong turnout that speaks to the energy and engagement of the Macadmin community in Japan.
Events like these offer valuable opportunities to grow not just as professionals, but as part of a larger community. They create space to connect with peers, discuss challenges and explore lessons learned from others who have found solutions.
Discussions with attendees highlighted how Workbrew was helping them manage and secure their fleets of all sizes. Fresh off our 1.2 release it was great to hear how default packages being available on the free plan was helping teams to get new developers started with a consistent toolset. Attendees highlighted how the policies and vulnerability features helped them gain visibility on what was happening across teams and set guardrails to ensure compliance in regulated industries. Being able to connect with the community, hearing how Workbrew is addressing real-world requirements with flexibility and ease of use is invaluable.
Our live product demo sparked a lively Q&A session, with detailed questions covering:
- Free plan capabilities
- SSO and multi-user support
- Permission mode structure
- Per-user policies
- Device group configurations
This kind of exchange is exactly why we show up. Listening closely to our community helps shape how we grow and deliver more value where it matters most.
Thanks again to JMUG for the invite. We’re already looking forward to next year.

3. IT Admins have questions. We weren’t sure what to expect, but so many folks had specific implementation queries. Others were curious about what Workbrew is up to. It was a non-stop flow of awesome conversations, and we ran out of Homebrew Cheat Sheets and Implementation Guides.
4. MacAd.UK has great bean bag chairs – the Chill-Out Zone was a super comfortable place to talk about CVEs.
5. The wonderful MacAdmins Foundation offers grants for folks who want to attend but aren’t in a position to fund the trip. For those looking to attend MacAdmins PSU, their applications are open.
A big thank you to the MacAD.UK team and we’re excited to be back next year.
