Apple’s WWDC event is happening in San Jose between 5-9 June

This year, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is happening in San Francisco between 5-9 June after years of it being at the famous Moscone Center in San Francisco. Registrations for the evening will be opening on 27 March.

The reason why this key event has moved cities is largely attributed to the high cost of attending it in a city like San Francisco, where attending developers often need to shell out several thousand dollars during the week of the event.

This year it is being held in the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, a relatively smaller and more affordable city, which happens to be much closer to Apple’s Cupertino campus. This would make it easier for Apple employees to connect with the attendees.

Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller confirmed that the conference this year will be approximately the same size as the previous, where about 5,000 developers are expected to attend.

Each ticket being priced at $1,599 (approximated Rs 1,07,285.) As in previous years, there will be a lottery system to select the final attendees, as there is typically a huge demand for entries.

WWDC typically sees much being unveiled by way of Apple’s software and services, including iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS. This year, iOS 11 will be taking centerstage.

Of course, we will be covering the event live during the time.
