Of course you have to pay, what would be the point of paying 1500$ for WWDC if you can get all the session videos for free?

"what would be the point of paying 1500$ for WWDC if you can get all the session videos for free?"

other paid for conferences do release videos of the talks so this argument isn't very persuasive.

the labs. the people. the other attendees. the fact that you can actually go up to an engineer who worked on something that has been bothering you for weeks and at least leave with a workaround, if not a full on fix for it. that alone to me is well worth more than $1500.
