WWDC 2026 is six weeks away, and we are eagerly awaiting Apple’s major iOS 27 introduction along with AI-powered Siri. Additionally, you don’t need a WWDC ticket to take advantage of the many developer events happening around Apple’s conference in June.

There’s more to attending Apple’s conference during WWDC week in Cupertino

Apple highlights nine developer community events taking place in California throughout the key week of WWDC 2026. These events will occur around Cupertino from Sunday, June 7 to Friday, June 12.

  • #WWDCScholars Meetup at WWDC26
  • CommunityKit Conference
  • Core Coffee – WWDC Edition (San Jose)
  • Apple Park Happy Hour
  • WWDC26 Community Step-Into-Coffee
  • Students, Swift, St★rs
  • WWDC26 Step Into Vision – @CommunityKit
  • AiOS Meetup – WWDC ’26 Edition
  • Core Coffee – WWDC Edition

Apple also suggests checking out Envision WWDC26, which identifies itself as a “third-party online developer community event built around WWDC week.”

Beyond California, Apple also highlights developer meetups happening in the Netherlands, China, and Turkey during WWDC week in June.

Most of these events require free registration in advance to attend, but a WWDC ticket is never necessary. These events provide a great way for developers to network and engage during WWDC week without having to win the ticket lottery.

For all developer-related meetups worldwide, you can check Apple’s community-focused events page, and you can consider more events throughout the year.

The website allows you to filter by region and view events specific to WWDC or those held throughout the year.

Apple is expected to introduce iOS 27, Gemini-powered Siri, and more on Monday, June 8. The keynote typically starts at 10:00 PT/13:00 ET, but Apple has not yet announced the WWDC 2026 schedule.
