The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2010 is set to be held on June 7-11 this year at San Francisco’s Moscone West.

Featured events will include the first ever iPad development sessions and hands-on working labs for iPhone OS 4, as well as Mac OS X core technology labs.

Session topics confirmed so far include “Application Frameworks, Internet and Web, Graphics and Media, Developer Tools and Core OS.”

Five iPad and iPhone Apple Design Award winners will also be announced at WWDC 2010. There is no requirement to enter and winners will be selected from the App Store based on criteria that includes design, technical excellence, innovation, quality, technology adoption and performance.

“This year’s WWDC offers developers in-depth sessions and hands-on working labs to learn more about iPhone OS 4, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system,” said Apple SVP of iPhone Software Scott Forstall.

“WWDC provides a unique opportunity for developers to work side-by-side with Apple engineers and interface designers to make their iPhone and iPad apps even better.”
