Apple Park WWDC Viewing Event for Developers to Include Special Tours of Caffe Macs, Fitness Center and More

[MacRumors]

On the first day of the Worldwide Developers Conference, a select number of developers will travel to Apple Park in Cupertino, California to experience a special viewing event at Apple's ring-shaped campus.

The June 6 event will include a viewing of the WWDC keynote and the Platforms State of the Union as previously announced, but attendees have also been informed about what the rest of the day will hold.

Developers will be able to check in to the Apple Park Visitor Center at 7:00 a.m., and from there, Apple will hold an open house at the new Apple Developer Center, which little is known about. At 8:00 a.m., Apple will serve breakfast at Caffe Macs, and then there will be a keynote viewing at 10:00 a.m.

After the keynote, developers will eat lunch at noon, and then the Platforms State of the Union will kick off at 1:00 p.m. From there, developers can choose three separate tours.

There's a tour of the Apple Park Hills, the Fitness Center Area, and Caffe Macs. All three tours take place at 2:30 p.m., so developers must choose to attend one, and Apple says that space is limited. After that, the day will wrap up with the Apple Design Awards at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Developers were informed yesterday that attendees must test negative for COVID the day before and that N95 masks would be required in all indoor areas. Apple is requiring developers to follow its health and safety protocols, which take into account the latest guidance from public health authorities.

All developers had a chance to apply to attend the Apple Park viewing event, and Apple selected attendees using a lottery system. Attendance is free, but developers will need to pay for travel and accommodations in Cupertino.

Apple is not hosting a full in-person WWDC event, and the keynote and the rest of the conference will be digital. The viewing party is the sole in-person component of WWDC 2022.

Apple serving breakfast. Lol

 

[MisterSavage]

There's also an open house for the Apple Developer Center the morning before when there's early bird check-in.

I would prefer to see inside Tim Cook’s office, Craig’s office, see what’s in the cubicles, what employees are coding all day, what the hardware setup is like. Go over to design studio, see how iPhone 14, 15 and 16 are coming along.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

That's so cool. They get a nice tour of Apple Park. I think it's worth attending this WWDC event as a developer.

Apple serving breakfast. Lol

It's probably just going to be apple slices.

 

[now i see it]

or fruit loops

Personally, if it was me, I’d want to see the Apple fitness center, maybe get a quick weight lifting workout in while I’m at it.

 

[syklee26]

I wonder how the apples look like at the caffe

It's probably just going to be apple slices.

The menu for breakfast and lunch are actually quite extensive. One breakfast item: Caviar!

 

[Ion-X]

So cool for them! I’m looking forward to the day when I get to finally check out the Apple Park Visitor Center and pick up some of that sweet sweet exclusive merch!!!

Apple serving breakfast. Lol

I bet it's donuts.

Mock all you want, but if you are a fan of Apple this would be a terrific experience.

 

[CarAnalogy]

That's so cool. They get a nice tour of Apple Park. I think it's worth attending this WWDC event as a developer.

There aren’t any tours of the real areas though. That place looks like the Pentagon, I wonder what they’re doing with all of it.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

I’m thinking the Fitness Center tour will be popular.

On a side note, would there be a problem if they built a residential complex in the middle?

 

[ddtmm]

The whole itinerary reminds me of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory tour.

 

[mlrproducts]

NGL when I got to go to Cupertino for training back in the late 2000s I really enjoyed eating at Caffe Macs at the old infinite loop, really good food.

 

[jdelaune]

If your breakfast is at Caffe Macs. Not sure why you would later on want a tour of it… seems a waste of a choice.

Tell us more!!? ?

 

[twistedpixel8]

“Caffe Macs”. What a stupid name. Sounds like it was suggested by some senior management person’s kid and nobody in the room had the balls to say “that’s just terrible.”

 

[twinlight]

Would be fun doing some workout at the fitness center and actually see a machine with GymKit support. Then some breakfast after that.

Just enjoy it you lucky ones that will go!

 

[Leon Ze Professional]

If you were one of the lucky invited developers. It would be such an awesome experience not to mention really motivational as well. Kudos to the lucky few.

 

[MisterSavage]

Tell us more!!? ?

Nothing more to tell yet. The schedule lists that but doesn't list what's in/what's happening at the Developer Center open house.

 

[svish]

Will be very nice to see the exclusive areas inside Apple park. Hope we get to see some photos.
