With Apple selling out WWDC 2011 in less than 12 hours, it’s probably a good idea (for those interested) to stay informed about this year’s timetable.Apparently you can get a pretty good idea of when WWDC 2012 is going to kick off by just taking a virtual stroll over to moscone.com where two Corporate Meetings are
scheduled for 06/11/12 - 06/15/12 and 06/27/12 - 06/28/12 respectively.
Apple usually hosts its developers conference in the month of June, so there is an obvious inclination to assert that June 11-15 is the time of the event.
June 27-28 is too short of a timeframe for Apple’s big convention, therefore that booking is clearly for something else.
Plus, the annual Moscone Center schedule has generally provided good indication of when WWDC drops each year, so there’s no reason not to go by these dates.
With that out of the way, those who are dying to attend this year’s gathering can use WWDC Alerts to get notified when tickets go on sale.
Created by developers Anthony Herron and Aaron Wardle, the notification site is described as follows:
“2012 walks amongst us. As Gruber recently said 'This is an extraordinary time to be an Apple developer. [...] This is like being a Rock and roll musician in the late sixties'. And so it seems the tickets for our annual pilgrimage sell out like something that sells out in a really short period of time. In 2011 it sold out in less than 10 hours. In 2012 it will likely by sooner. WWDC Alerts will notify you via call and SMS as soon as we know the tickets are on sale regardless of your timezone. Whilst this isn't a fix for those at vast altitudes in metal tin cans, there should hopefully be less anxiety about leaving the house as the date draws near and the tickets are made available. You're welcome.”Under the Privacy tab, the developers note that your details won’t be forwarded to anyone, “ever”, and that they will contact you only to let you know tickets are on sale. “We don't even want to know your name,” according to Herron and Wardle.
