In 2012, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2012 was held at Moscone West, San Francisco from June 11 to 15, 2012. The tickets that went on sale at 8:30am Eastern Time on April 25, 2012, were sold out within less than 2 hours.
In the keynote, Apple announced new models of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Apple also showcased OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6.
In previous WWDC conferences, attendees were required to be at least 18 years old. In 2012, Apple changed this requirement to at least 13 years after a minor who was "accidentally" awarded a student scholarship in 2011 successfully petitioned Tim Cook to retain the award. Despite the change, attendees for the Beer Bash were still required to be 18 years of age, and 21 years old to consume alcohol, in accordance with the local and federal laws.
