WWDC ticket lottery kicks off today

Apple on Monday kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference ticket lottery. This gives developers the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the event, but doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get one.

“The opportunity to buy tickets to WWDC 2017 is offered by random selection. Register by Friday, March 31 at 10:00 a.m. PDT for your chance to join thousands of others coming together to change the world,” according to Apple’s web site.

Apple also updated other parts of its WWDC web site providing information on scholarships and some tips if you’re attending the conference.

The company is also providing information on a number of other developer events that are being held in conjunction with WWDC that Apple dubs “Beyond WWDC.” Events include the Beard Bash, a party that I put on every year, John Gruber’s Talk Show, Layers, and others.

Register for your ticket! I look forward to seeing you there.
