Show notes

AKA: Please, don’t be a jerk at WWDC.

Be thankful to the Apple engineers and employees
Be considerate of others and your presenter during sessions
Make sure all your technology is on Silent (not vibrate)
Please, don’t noisily pack up your stuff and leave before the presenter concludes. Wait until they are done.
Pick up your trash
Be polite in line and don’t hold spaces for unreasonable numbers of people
Don’t be a pushy salesman for your apps
Don’t overdo it. Have Fun. Pace yourself.
