Apple on Tuesday announced the lineup for the 2013 edition of the company's developer Tech Talks with a new dual-track structure.
Apple's Tech Talks, which are small developer-focused conferences at which iOS developers can get up to speed on new technologies available in the latest iOS version and speak directly to Apple engineers, will be held in San Francisco, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Berlin, and London this year.
The events are scheduled from October through December and feature a new dual track structure stretched across two days — one day for app developers, and the second day for game developers. Previously, Tech Talks were single day, general purpose affairs.
Apple began the Tech Talk program in 2008 and, except for a brief hiatus in 2010, has made the conferences — described by some as "miniature WWDCs" — an annual tradition.

I love the image they used. Stylish flat icons, plus a nice space background.
Brilliant! As usual!
And they're filming it: [quote] Can't make it to an event? We’ll be posting videos of the sessions shortly after the last event, so all Registered Apple Developers can take advantage of great iOS 7 Tech Talks content[/quote]

These are significant events. While everyone is yapping about how iOS 7 looks they're missing all the goodies Apple added underneath. Just wait until developers start taking advantage of these features to make even better Apps. Then we'll really see how big of a deal iOS 7 really is.
