Dates And Venue Set for WWDC22 (The Venue is Your Sofa)
06 APRIL 2022 - Good news and other news around WWDC 2022. The good news, Apple issued a press release Tuesday announcing dates for the event. It’s set to run Monday 6 June through Friday 10 June. The other news, it’ll be a mostly online affair. I say mostly, because a few people will get to get together to watch at Apple Park. According to the release:
…Apple will host a special day for developers and students at Apple Park on June 6 to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos together, along with the online community. Space will be limited, and details about how to apply to attend will be provided on the Apple Developer site and app soon.
As for saying it’s good news/other news… eh. A lot of developers as well as media folks who were regularly invited to the keynote miss the in-person thing. Others appreciate the fact that, since the event shifted to online-only, virtually anyone who wants to participate can do so, albeit virtually. To that end, Apple’s press release says:
…this year’s program will also include more information sessions, more cutting-edge learning labs, more digital lounges to engage with attendees, and more localized content to make WWDC22 a truly global event.
