Apple announces WWDC 08 dates

by Nik Fletcher Mar 13th 2008 at 4:58PM

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 Tickets get you 5 days of sessions, Apple engineers, (likely) a Steve Jobs keynote and plenty you can't talk about. With the arrival of the iPhone SDK, we'd wager this years conference is frankly going to be a little popular (what with the full public release likely to arrive around the same time) so it might be prudent to book at your earliest convenience.

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.

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

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.

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.
