boulderOS for WWDC 2023

Join us in Boulder, CO for a series of viewing parties and social gatherings during the week of WWDC, June 5-9, 2023. Didn’t get that golden ticket to Cupertino? No problem. We’ll be watching sessions and engaging in discussions all week right here in the heart of Boulder. Meet new friends and learn together in a town that’s easily accessible from just about anywhere in the US.

Admission is free, though meals, transportation, and lodging are on you. Open to all who wish to join. Contact Joe and / or Curtis ahead of time, so we can get an accurate head count. Availability is limited.

Please be up on your vaccinations, and, in case it’s not obvious enough, if you are not feeling well, stay home. At this time, masks are not required indoors in Boulder. But note, we will be following local county guidelines, so if that changes, be prepared to comply.
