WWDC 2023 will be held online from Monday, June 5 through Friday, June 9, but there will also be an in-person component. Like last year, randomly selected developers and students will be able to attend Apple Park on the Monday to watch the WWDC keynote video, meet some of the teams at Apple, enjoy evening activities, and more.

Below, we have outlined how to request to attend the special all‑day event, who is eligible to attend, and other important details.

How to Request to Attend

To request to attend the special event at Apple Park, head to the WWDC 2023 website and click or tap the request button. You will be prompted to sign into your Apple Developer account and must be enrolled in Apple's Developer Program for $99 per year, or have a complimentary membership, such as by winning last year's Swift Student Challenge.

Next, review the information provided on the next screen, such as your name and email address, and submit the request to Apple.

Apple says invitations will be allocated by a random selection process and are non-transferrable. Apple will notify individuals who are selected to attend the event by April 5 at 6 p.m. Pacific Time. Travel and accommodations are not included.

Who is Eligible
  • Apple Developer Program members (including Enterprise Program)
  • Swift Student Challenge winners (2020 to 2022)
  • Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni
2023 Swift Student Challenge applicants can opt in to be included in a separate random selection process for winners of the challenge when they submit their entry. Apple says up to 350 winners will be selected for the challenge.

Key Dates
  • April 4 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time: Deadline to submit a request to attend
  • April 5 at 6 p.m. Pacific Time: Those who request to attend will be notified of their status by this date
  • June 5: Apple Park special event day

Why was the picture changed?

It showed people under the sun watching the presentation but now it is a picture of Tim Cook with people under the sun...
 
Feels like an early announcement of this event. Building hype?
Apple needs hype. They’ve been a snooze fest. When MR has been reporting nothing but beta releases, price deals, and a yellow iPhone as news, you know it’s been pretty quiet. Apple had almost nothing cool before Christmas and tumbleweeds for 1Q 2023. They need to give us a reason to get excited about their products and a reason to upgrade.

Curious if anyone with a dev account could possibly be selected? While not a developer we use the dev access to test the upcoming versions with our software we use.
 
Please make it an in-person event!

Those days of an only in-person event are likely over. One positive result of COVID is that Apple had to provide remote sessions. Not likely that they will go away as they can reach far more people, as well as those who could not afford or otherwise attend.
