Apple announces WWDC 08 dates
With the iPhone SDK announcement last week, some of us here at TUAW were expecting a Worldwide Developer Conference date to be announced. Thankfully, the world has been put to rights, as Apple has now announced that WWDC will run from 9th - 13th June at San Francisco's Moscone Centre (West Hall). With three tracks (iPhone, Mac and IT) if you're a developer or IT Pro this is probably a conference you'll want to be at -- and students are encouraged too, with Student Scholarships usually available.Whilst the ticket prices are forthcoming, it'll
Pricing for this year's WWDC is US$1295 for a single ticket, US$5180 for 5 tickets (saving you $1295). Apple are also offering combined packages of ADC membership and a WWDC membership.

With the addition of iPhone dev I hope the IT side does not get shorted even more then normal. Most likely going back no matter what this year.

Wish I had the scratch to go. If I did, I'd be all over the IT division. That's my line of work.

Moscone's website still says "Corporate Event" for those dates, too. :)

Have to get work to pay for you to go. I have to say it was well worth it for me. Plus the extra $400 for the ADC membership has been worth every penny.

...that's a lot of money. I mean... I know this is a huge event and everything but... damn.

not that it really helps but lunch and snacks are covered for that price and you get a nifty laptop bag and t-shirt too ;)

Yeah. That really doesn't make up for it in my mind. I'd love to go to something like that (Mainly just to see the Stevenote and any new products) but that is just ridiculously expensive to me.

If you BUY an ADC membership (not just sign up for the free one) you can get hardware discounts but that's about it.
