On the first day of the Worldwide Developers Conference, a select number of developers will travel to Apple Park in Cupertino, California to view a special viewing event at Apple's ring-shaped campus.
The June 6 event will include a viewing of the 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.
There will be an open house at the new Apple Developer Center, but little is known about it. 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 start at 1:00 p.m. Developers can choose from three tours.
There is a tour of the Apple Park area. The tours take place at 2:30 p.m., so developers must choose to attend one, and Apple says that space is limited. The Apple Design Awards will be held at 4:30 p.m. The time is in the Pacific.
Developers were told yesterday that attendees would have to test negative for carbon dioxide the day before, and that N95 masks would be required in all indoor areas. The latest guidance from public health authorities is taken into account when Apple requires developers to follow its health and safety protocols.
All developers had a chance to apply to attend the viewing event, but Apple selected attendees using a lottery system. Developers will need to pay for travel and accommodations if attendance is free.
The keynote and the rest of the conference will be digital and not in person. The viewing party is the only one in person.
