The conference launched in 1983 at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium, moved to Moscone West for 2003-2018, and since 2019 has been hosted at Apple Park with the main keynote at Steve Jobs Theater. Pre-pandemic WWDC was a 5-day in-person developer event with ~6,000 attendees; post-pandemic it's a hybrid format with invitation-only in-person keynote + Apple Design Awards + online developer sessions. For chauffeur business, the operational footprint runs Sunday/Monday arrivals (keynote Monday) through Friday departures.
10-15 min SJC → Apple Park via I-880 or SR-87. Closest by far.
SFO is 25-40 min depending on US-101 traffic.
OAK is 35-50 min via Dumbarton Bridge.
Most international attendees still fly SFO due to broader transpacific routing.
Embargoed-content periods: Major iOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS announcements drop at the Monday keynote — pre-keynote movement may involve unreleased product information.
Apple supplier delegates: Component suppliers, manufacturing partners, app developers under NDA frequently transit through.
Driver protocol: No questions about meeting content, no shared schedules, no Bluetooth syncing in vehicle.
