Apple will host its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in an online format from June 6 until 10 June, 2023 (EST). The opening keynote is at 3:00AM on 6 June 2023 if you’re keen to watch. While most of the event will be held online, the first day will include an in person experience at Apple Park. Space for this in-person event will be limited. Details on how to apply to attend can be found on the Apple Developer site and app.
The event is free for all developers and will spotlight the latest iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS advancements and give developers access to Apple engineers, as well as insight into new technologies and tools to help them realise their visions.
Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations says, “WWDC is one of our favourite times of the year at Apple because it’s an opportunity to connect with the talented developers from around the globe who make this community so extraordinary.”
Along with announcements shared from the keynote and State of the Union presentations, this year’s online program will include sessions, one-on-one labs, and opportunities to engage with Apple engineers and other developers.
WWDC23 is also an opportunity to support student developers through the Swift Student Challenge, one of many Apple programs that seek to elevate developers and learners of all ages who love to code. With the help of Swift Playgrounds students from around the world are invited to create an app playground on a topic of their choice. Submissions for this year’s challenge are now open, and students can submit their work up until 19 April (PDT). More information can be found at the Swift Student Challenge website.
Apple will share additional conference information in advance of WWDC23 through the Apple Developer app and on the Apple Developer website.
