WWDC 2026: Apple highlights community events in Cupertino during keynote week

WWDC 2026 is six weeks away, and we’re looking forward to Apple’s big iOS 27 reveal with a healthy side of AI-infused Siri. You don’t need a WWDC ticket to enjoy many of the developer events happening around Apple’s conference in June either.

There’s more to do during WWDC week around Cupertino than attending Apple’s conference

Apple highlights nine developer community events happening in California during WWDC 2026 keynote week. These take place around Cupertino between Sunday, June 7 and 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 recommends checking out Envision WWDC26, which describes 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.

Many of these events require free registration ahead of time to attend, but a WWDC ticket is never required. These events are a great way for developers to network and engage during WWDC week without having to win the ticket lottery.

You can see Apple’s community-driven events page for all developer-related meetups around the world, all-year long, for more events to consider.

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

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27, Gemini-enhanced Siri, and much more on Monday, June 8. The keynote usually kicks off at 10 am PT/1 pm ET, although Apple hasn’t released the WWDC 2026 schedule just yet.
