Possible WWDC Dates
Edit: Okay, I suck. It wasn’t any of those dates. It’s June 6-11.
So now that I’m back at Kobo I’m already looking to the future. Specifically, getting the team sent to San Francisco for WWDC. That necessitates some hunting for potential bookings at the Moscone Center there (assuming it won’t move to somewhere larger—if there even is anywhere larger).
The conference usually shows up as a ‘Corporate Event’ before the announcement, so I figured I’d see if there was anything booked which appeared to match the usual Sunday-Friday dates, either booked for some anonymous corporate event or left open for Apple to grab later. Here’s all I could find:
- June 5-9 is booked for a Corporate Event. That’s Sunday-Thursday.
- July 3-8 is open.
- July 10-15 is open.
- August 22-26 is open. Sunday-Thursday only though.
Given that Apple usually starts decorating the convention centre a little in advance, I wouldn’t be surprised if their booking started on the previous Friday. That puts the most likely dates as:
Sunday July 10 – Friday July 15
Edit: I mis-read the site (or else it just changed). The event on July 12-14 actually uses all three convention halls, so that range is out. It’s possible then that July 3-8 is the one to go for, unless the June 5-9 grows by a day later on.
Set your calendars people.
