Apple will hold its first fully live in-person event since COVID-19 struck next week when it holds its annual AI summit for employees next week at Steve Jobs Theater at the company’s Apple Park headquarters.
News of the event came as a tweet from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says the summit is similar to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, but for employees only.
The summit will also be live-streamed to employees unable to attend, the same way Apple held events in the pre-COVID era.
The last fully live, fully in-person product event was for the iPhone 11, which was held on Tuesday, September 10, 2019. Hopefully, the AI summit indicates that future product events will finally return to an in-person format.
