Apple made its announcement that WWDC will be an online event this year and will be held from June 22nd and everyone can watch it as usual as every year but no one can attend the event, WWDC, short form for Worldwide Developers Conference, was one of the major tech events from Apple which mainly discusses iOS, macOS, and the recently introduced iPadOS and their new versions.

And also talks about new and innovative ways developers can work with Apple and it's operating systems easily and efficiently, WWDC is mainly targeted for developers but there's something for tech enthusiasts and customers too as Apple will announce new versions and new features of all their operating systems and apps.

Usually, only a few tech journalists will be invited for the main show and one can get a ticket on a lottery-based system which costs $1599 to attend the 5-day developer sessions but now as the event was made online, it will be free for everyone, as spectators we only see the main event of WWDC but there will over a 100 sessions where the attended developers will get tips from Apple engineers, one-on-one consultations with experts to improve an app developed by a developer.

There will be get-togethers to interact with fellow developers and experts, special events, and guest speakers but this year not all of this might be possible as the show is online. Apple introduced a new Swift Student Challenge where registered developers will have to "create an interactive scene in a Swift playground that can be experienced within three minutes."

Winners will get a WWDC20 jacket and a pin set, WWDC will usually happen in the first week of June, last year it happened from June 3-7 but this year it was pushed two weeks back and will happen for June 22-26, and all these 5 days will be online only and will be open for developers around the world, WWDC will always take place in San Jose Convention Center, CA. Apple will provide more information on when the main event will happen and other details, the main event may happen on the first day of the WWDC, June 22nd.
