One week to go till WWDC, which suggests it’s time to recap what’s occurring, irrespective of the way you’ll be attending: Absolutely distant, in-person with an area group, or on-site in Cupertino.
It’s good to see that Apple continues to recognise group occasions on the official website, however I discovered having all the distant occasions listed alongside the in-person ones just a little overwhelming. What it does present is how a lot stuff goes on round this convention. With greater than 30 occasions and watch events listed worldwide, the convention shouldn’t must be a solo expertise except you need it to be! If the “checklist of every little thing” on the official website is an excessive amount of, there’s a way more structured community-curated model in Paul Hudson’s WWDC occasions repository.
The primary community-run occasion is One Extra Factor. I wrote some phrases on this brand-new occasion a number of weeks in the past once they first introduced it, and it appears to be like like issues are coming collectively. There’s a partial checklist of audio system on the positioning, particular occasions operating all week, and naturally, this would be the greatest place to view the keynote for those who’re in Cupertino with out a golden ticket. 🎟️
However that’s not it in terms of group occasions, with espresso occasions each morning and not less than one night occasion per day, you gained’t be in need of mates for those who’re in Cupertino for the week.
What else? Properly no WWDC week could be full with out a “Stay close to WWDC” profit live performance from James Dempsey and the Breakpoints, and fortunately, the week is full! 🎸
An important factor you are able to do now could be get your tickets for any occasions you’d prefer to attend. Virtually all occasions require registration or a ticket, they usually’ll promote out so don’t delay!
I’ll be following alongside from house this 12 months, however will nonetheless sing alongside to “Yet another factor…” on Wednesday night as if I had been there. 👍
