Apr 04, 2014 03:25 PM EDT | By John Nassivera

Apple announced on Thursday that the company's next Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) will begin on June 2 and run through June 6.

The WWDC will start at San Francisco's Moscone West Center, a common setting for the conference, according to CNET.

Tickets are available now through Monday, April 7 at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets for the conference are usually gone within the first couple hours after they are put on sale. The conference sold out in only a few minutes last year.

The company is using a lottery system for the WWDC, Macworld reported. Registered developers part of the Mac Developer Program, iOS Developer Program or iOS Developer Enterprise Program can apply on Apple's developer website from now to until Monday at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets will be selected by lottery, and all attendees will be contacted by 5 p.m. on PT on Monday.

A total of 200 student scholarships will be available at the conference. This year, the National Center for Women and Information will be looking for female programmers and engineers for scholarships for the first time. Attendees between the ages of 13 and 17 need their application to be completed by their parents or guardians who can come to the conference.

Apple is looking to have over 1,000 of its engineers in attendance at the conference, CNET reported. These engineers are expected to lead hands-on labs and other events to teach attendees about the basic details of OS X and iOS.

There are several devices that attendees are wondering about for this year's WWDC, such as Apple's introduction of iOS 8 and if new features will be in the next version of the mobile operating system. Rumors about the conference include the iPhone featuring Map apps and iTunes Radio becoming a separate app.

Apple usually uses a session on the first day of the WWDC to talk about new products, Macworld reported. While the company hasn't released any information on a WWDC keynote yet, it is expected that Apple will confirm a keynote session in the next few weeks.
