I went to one of these in Toronto a few years back and it was great.

Pity there isn't a web track like they had back then.

I went to the one in the Netherlands in november 2008. At the time, one half of the workshops were about making web apps for iPhoneOS and the other half was about developing for the then recently launched App Store. It was a great experience because there were a lot of Apple employees to ask technical questions.

That series was also pretty long, and went to a lot more cities.

I'm not sure what your point is, but the one I went to was pretty intimate (<200 third party developers but dozens of developers employed by Apple) which made it a unique experience for me, vs WWDC. I'd love to go to another Apple event with that ratio 3rd party devs to Apple devs.

I’d definitely like for Apple to include the Netherlands again. Since the one I took part in, they haven’t included it in their World Tours. I might go to Berlin, but it’s not exactly close to where I live and I’d risk Apple sending German speaking devs.

I was just checking if it was in Toronto and it's not :(

Anyone know if videos of these talks will be available online for all?

From the site:

Can't make it to an event? We’ll be posting videos of the sessions shortly after the last event, so all Registered Apple Developers can take advantage of great iOS 7 Tech Talks content.
