Apple really does a good job with this conference. Food is great, sessions are great, and the people are excellent.

Is it worth it? Overwhelmingly yes. First, the labs are the most useful thing you can get out of the conference if utilized. I cant tell you how many issues have been solved and bug reports have been filed because of WWDC labs. If you do find a bug, Apple Engineers really like the challenge of finding a workaround using public API's.

The best part about the conference is the motivation-boost that you and your dev team will get after attending. It can bring so much more productivity to your team just by spending a week with thousands of people, all who challenge you on an intellectual level.
