To kick off the Worldwide Developers Conference each year, Apple holds a keynote event to introduce new software and occasionally, new hardware. Students are also invited to participate in the annual Swift Student Challenge to win prizes and a chance to visit Apple Park. With WWDC, Apple offers developers a first glimpse of new iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS updates, plus the opportunity to engage with Apple engineers through engineering sessions, one-on-one lab appointments, and the Apple Developer Forums. WWDC tickets have historically been priced at $1,599 for the in-person event, but WWDC has been free for all developers since 2020 in its all-online format and that continues in 2023. Apple announced on March 29 that its 34th Worldwide Developers Conference will take place the week of June 5 to June 9, 2023, beginning with a keynote event on Monday, June 5.Īs with the 2022 conference, WWDC 2023 will be an online event, although select developers and students will be invited to Apple Park on June 5 to watch the keynote and State of the Union presentation and meet with other attendees and Apple employees.
