Apple Notifies WWDC 2026 Apple Park Lottery Winners

The outreach signals a hybrid WWDC that mixes a small on-site day with a week of streamed sessions for developers worldwide.

Overview

  • Apple has begun emailing developers and students selected by lottery to attend the June 8 special event at Apple Park, and invitees must claim their spots.
  • The in-person program includes a 10:00 a.m. PT keynote viewing, a Platforms State of the Union, campus tours, and a dinner with chances to meet Apple engineers.
  • Eligibility covered members of Apple’s Developer and Enterprise programs, Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni, and 2024–2026 Swift Student Challenge winners, with seats assigned at random.
  • WWDC runs June 8–12 as a free online conference for everyone else, with 100-plus video sessions, group labs, and one-on-one help in Apple’s Developer app and on the web.
  • Apple is expected to preview iOS 27 and other OS updates during the keynote, and reports suggest a chatbot-style Siri and possible use of Google’s Gemini remain unconfirmed.
