If you’re a registered developer, the session videos and materials will be on iTunes, after some delay.

In recent years the delay has gone from months, to a month, to weeks, to a week, to mere days. This year, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't online the day after they were given.

And the price for the videos went from $500 for 2009 to $0 for 2010.

There are student scholarships that aren't super difficult to get, but I think that's it.
