How it'll work
Each presenter will have a table for a booth. On that table, place anything you'd like to showcase your project.
Can I join even if I'm not a student / not a Swift Student Challenge winner?
Of course! You’re more than welcome to join us! This event is open to everyone, and that’s exactly what makes the Apple Developer community so vibrant.
Who can be a presenter?
Any Swift Student Challenge winner / WWDC scholar interested in sharing their projects (with some reserved tickets for 2026 Winners / Distinguished Winners).
Why's this different from last year?
Last year, we ran with a more traditional keynote-style presentation. This year, we wanted to experiment with a format that feels more interactive, and creates more opportunities for people to mix, connect, and engage with one another.
There are no more presenter tickets!
Drop us an email to sss (at) jiachen.app and we'll let you know should more open up.
Thank you!
