With WWDC coming up next week, Apple has started preparing for the big day. Following the launch of the Apple TV channel for the keynote stream yesterday, the company has started decorating Moscone West with Apple logos and banners.
As spotted by MacStories and followed up by images from our own Tom Maxwell, the first bits of a large Apple logo on one side of the building have already been put up. There’s not much more to see at the moment, but many more banners are expected to go up in the coming days. As in previous years, some of them will likely be covered to prevent news about upcoming announcements from getting out early.
Apple is expected to announce the next versions of its iOS and OS X software during the event.
Update June 3:
Some progress on the large Apple logo and setup for the event, as well as the indoor “epicenter of change” banners (Thanks Victor).

One of the best times of the year. I’m looking forward to it.
I’m hoping they introduce some new iMacs. Got a late 2013 one but that seems like a lifetime away now!
Apparently I’m out of the replacement cycle loop, I have a late 2013 rMBP and it feels like I just bought it haha.
It’s like being a kid in December when you see Christmas decorations go up.
Apple doesn’t do any of that. This is conference services that is doing it. There is only so much time between shows. It is also a union build which if you had knowledge of would know Apple can barely do anything on their own in the building.
The posters that go on the building are designed and commissioned by Apple, which is the reference in the headline. The headline does not refer to Apple employees physically doing the work.

Can’t let anyone about iOS 9 until we’re ready to announce it!
That’s cool can’t wait to see new Apple tv
“Controlling HomeKit-enabled accessories away from home requires an Apple TV (3rd generation or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8.1 or later.”

Suggest you need Apple TV to use Homekit from outside the Home
