Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2018 in San José, California (USA)

This is where we discover new perspectives. Connecting, collaborating, and sharing bright ideas can lead to extraordinary things. This is where we all work together to bring innovation to life.
This is where we imagine without boundaries. As code transcends languages, borders, and expectations, this is where technology reaches new limits. And where ideas become world-changing.
I had an amazing time with some friends at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2018 in San José, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Here are some insights about this time. Let us kick off with a group photo at Apple WWDC18 of the Get-Togethers Women @WWDC18 Breakfast. Being a part of Apple as an advocate for women in tech was an amazing experience! These powerful women and inspirational stories about their passion, life, and plans gave me hope for the next generation with a tremendous female quota in big companies. Apple is a beautiful example because many women are members of the board and are leaders (e.g., Lisa P. Jackson, Vice President Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives or Angela Ahrendts, Senior Vice President, Retail). Here are some women who want to change the world and have enough power - just as much as men like myself! The last photo shows Esther Hare (Apple, Senior Director, Worldwide Developer Marketing), who has a Bachelor in Computer Science and an MBA in Marketing.
In addition to the general sessions on new technology, we had the opportunity to participate in unique sessions as Pixar/Disney at Apple WWDC18 - Thanks Danielle Feinberg, I could cry tears of joy and pride! I have never seen such a kind person, combining creativity with science so great (of course, you studied computer science at Harvard)! At Pixar, Danielle Feinberg delights in bending the rules of light to her every whim. Thanks for the like and reply on Twitter. The keynote about The Art of Science: Bringing Pixar's Imagined Worlds to Life was breathtaking. Danielle Feinberg began her career at Pixar Animation Studios in 1997 on the feature film A Bug's Life. She quickly discovered her love for lighting and went on to light on many of Pixar's feature films, including Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., the Academy Award®-winning Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. Feinberg was the director of photography for lighting on Pixar's Academy Award®-winning films WALL-E and Brave and is now working on Pixar's upcoming film, Coco. Feinberg's love of combining computers and art began when she was eight years old and first programmed a Logo turtle to create images. This eventually led her to a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Harvard University. In addition to her Pixar work, she mentors teenage girls, encouraging them to pursue code, math, and science. I hope I'll be as cool as you one day! Watch a Ted Talk of Danielle about her work at Pixar:
We also had the opportunity to learn more about UNICEF's incredible and essential work and tech-related archaeology sessions, and a lot of more! All developers, engineers, creatives, and employees celebrated the end of this astonishing week at Discovery Meadow with good music, food and drinks, and a live performance by Panic! at the disco. I hope you enjoyed my photos in the gallery. To learn more about the newest technologies, which will form our future take a look at Apple's developer website. For instance, in 2018, I learned a lot about UI/UX design, Siri Shortcuts, creating immersive AR experiences, and much more! I also want to share one of my favorite WWDC 2018 sessions, but please watch older and newer sessions videos under the photo gallery.
