It’s Official: Steve Jobs to Deliver WWDC 2010 Keynote Address

Apple confirmed last month that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference would begin on June 7 this year, at San Francisco’s Moscone West. Apple has now issued one of its rare press releases announcing that Steve Jobs, the company’s CEO, is set to kick off WWDC 2010 with a keynote address on Monday, June 7.

Two relevant excerpts from Apple’s official announcement can be found below.

“CUPERTINO, California—May 24, 2010—Apple® will kick off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address by CEO Steve Jobs on Monday, June 7 at 10:00 a.m. This year’s WWDC sold out in a record eight days to over 5,000 developers.

“The five-day event running from June 7 to June 11, is focused on providing advanced content for skilled developers across five key technology tracks: Application Frameworks; Internet & Web; Graphics & Media; Developer Tools; and Core OS. Apple engineers will deliver over 100 solutions-oriented technical sessions and labs. WWDC 2010 gives an incredibly diverse community the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iPhone, iPad and Mac developers from around the world.”

Tickets for the event have already sold out. The Mac maker has announced that this year’s Apple Design Awards will focus entirely on the iPhone, saying, “This year’s WWDC offers developers in-depth sessions and hands-on working labs to learn more about iPhone OS 4, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system.” Scott Forstall, Apple’s senior vice president of iPhone Software, added in April that, “WWDC provides a unique opportunity for developers to work side-by-side with Apple engineers and interface designers to make their iPhone and iPad apps even better.” Apple is believed to plan the unveiling of iPhone 4 at this year’s WWDC, the latest version of its popular smartphone.

Sessions offered in support of five technology tracks include Application Frameworks, Internet & Web, Graphics & Media, Developer Tools and Core OS. There is no requirement for developers to enter the Apple Design Awards. Visit Apple here to learn more about WWDC 2010.
