One week to go till WWDC, which suggests it’s time to recap what’s happening, regardless of the way you’ll be attending: Absolutely distant, in-person with a neighborhood group, or on-site in Cupertino.
It’s good to see that Apple continues to recognise group occasions on the official web site, however I discovered having the entire 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 have to be a solo expertise until you need it to be! If the “checklist of every thing” on the official web site 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 seems to be like issues are coming collectively. There’s a partial checklist of audio system on the location, particular occasions operating all week, and naturally, this would be the greatest place to view the keynote should you’re in Cupertino and not using a golden ticket. 🎟️
However that’s not it relating to group occasions, with espresso occasions each morning and a minimum of one night occasion per day, you received’t be wanting mates should you’re in Cupertino for the week.
What else? Effectively no WWDC week could be full and not using 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’s get your tickets for any occasions you’d wish to attend. Nearly all occasions require registration or a ticket, they usually’ll promote out so don’t delay!
I’ll be following alongside from house this yr, however will nonetheless sing alongside to “Another factor…” on Wednesday night as if I had been there. 👍
