Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference hasn’t been formally announced, but that doesn’t mean that the AltConf crew are waiting. Rob Elkins takes us through this year’s alternative conference that happens in parallel to WWDC. A new venue with three different stages and more speakers will make this year’s AltConf the biggest and best yet. Rob explains the ticket structure, who to contact if you’re interested in volunteering or sponsoring, and why you should come to San Francisco even if you don’t get a ticket to WWDC.
