Apple this morning announced dates for its Worldwide Developer Donference (WWDC), set for June 5-9, in San Jose, California.

Apple’s WWDC17 website background has art full of people interacting, along with the following announced in the middle:

Technology alone is not enough.
Technology must intersect with the liberal arts and the humanities, to create new ideas and experiences that push society forward. This summer we bring together thousands of brilliant minds representing many diverse perspectives, passions, and talents to help us change the world.
