A new Apple-focused meetup for consultants is kicking off its inaugural conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, this coming up May. The event is called the ACEs Conference and it’s put on by two members of the Apple community, Justin Esgar and Luis Giraldo, both of whom run Apple consultant businesses in Manhattan and Canada, respectively. The two describe the event as being for Apple consultants by Apple consultants:

Jeff Gamet of the Mac Observer will lead the keynote and sessions include topics such as growing your business and app marketing. The New Orleans-based conference sounds like an interesting chance for anyone using Apple technology in business to meet similar people and learn a thing or two.

Registration for the conference started earlier this month with an early bird rate for tickets currently. The conference will take place on May 20th and May 21st at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans. You can check out more information here.
