Apple Plans 'Tech Talk World Tour' for iOS 5 Developers

[Combustion]

How is this "Page 2"?!

Bit disappointed to see that there are no Australian stops on the tour. It is pretty difficult for any developers here to get to America for WWDC without having an outrageous amount of cash to spill. ie. US$1600 for a WWDC ticket, AU$2800 in return airfares and probably well over US$1000 for a hotel for that long plus what you need to live. It's pretty hard for some of us smaller developers to get over there; we were thankful to have them visit us on the last tour as it is something we can manage financially.

i respond the second I got the email from Apple, for Seattle, I responded before it was full, but i guess am not lucky, did not get a confirmation email.

Feel your pain

They sold out in the US in 90 minutes...

Please, please, please add some more dates Apple... I'm even willing to pay a reasonably priced entrance fee!

amazing idea. If only it was in Toronto, I would have gone. Maybe next year?

Good grief! Toronto is only a 9 hour drive from New York city.

I'm still waiting for my confirmation email. Anyone got it yet? I just got the "Your request was received. Don't book anything yet!" one.

Same here - but now the event is full, doesn't look good for getting an invite.

They should schedule one in Waterloo, Ontario.

They're waiting for some meeting space to open up. Won't be long...

Just got a mail from Apple: "Great news. We have confirmed your admission for the iOS 5 Tech Talk World Tour in Berlin on November 2, 2011."

Any other belgians going?

 

[lws]

Got declined for Berlin as well. I guess, applying within an hour wasn't quick enough.

I just got my NYC confirmation today. I'll be trucking up to NYC from DC.

accepted for NYC

I just received my confirmation this morning. I applied 15 minutes after the invite email was sent. I also have several apps in the store, one of which is in the top few hundred iPad apps overall. Not sure how much of a play that had in my chances.
Anyone else going to NYC?
Also, if you were accepted, do you have apps, and if so, how prominent are they? It would be interesting to see any trends in how they accept developers.

I'll be heading up to NYC - it'd be great to arrange a meetup. I've got 3 apps technically in the app store - 2 are years old and were "practice" apps. My first and still maintained app has done very well in the Education category. Been featured by Apple a few times and is still selling nicely.

I have a few apps in the store. I do more freelance stuff, so the apps that I have under my name are more for potential clients to check out. I'll be in the city for a few days before and after the event, not sure what everyone else's schedule looks like for a potential meet up.

Is there any entry fee for the event. I am in London to attend another mobile and networking event around the same time.

There is no entrance fee, but there are also no spots left.
