At this year’s WWDC, Apple plans to hold over 100 tech sessions hosted by its own engineers, as well as the usual hands-on lab sessions, a new series of get-togethers for particular topics, and more. Read on for the full scoop.

Apple has confirmed that WWDC14 will offer the usual 100+ technical sessions presented by its illustrious engineers discussing things like “developing, deploying and integrating the latest iOS and OS X technologies.”

As before, more than 1,000 will be available to dispense invaluable advice and provide devs with “code-level assistance, insight into optimal development techniques and guidance on how they can make the most of iOS and OS X technologies in their apps.”

While not mentioning any new iOS or OS X versions, the Cupertino behemoth promises to give attendees a sneak peek at “the latest innovations, features and capabilities of iOS and OS X, and how to enhance an app’s functionality, performance, quality and design.”

New to this year’s developer gathering is “a new series of get togethers for attendees focused on particular topics with special guest speakers and activities.” There will also be some inspirational lunchtime sessions and, of course, the Apple Design Awards which recognize coding excellence across iOS and OS X. Basically, if your app is brilliant, it has a chance of getting picked.

Both Monday’s State of the Union session and the Apple Design Awards will be live streamed via the WWDC site, Apple has confirmed.
