'Wise' seems a bit over the top. Generous and positive spirited might be a better way to characterize it. I am curious what such a representative could offer that would not be better in a produced video distributed by Apple?

They could have two-way conversations with developers who are using and learning Swift.

They are active, communicative and responsive on the dev forums.

For a formative language, it would be wise for Apple to send a representative and for dotSwift to get Apple officially represented. I am sure the organizers understand this, but this would also mean a cultural departure for Apple.

I think it has to do mostly with the image they want to have in the developer community.

Plus, watching a HD video shot in a Theater like ours is arguably more enjoyable and impactful than something shot in a studio. You can check this as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQyj-kBRdo

This looks interesting. How long are the super early-bird tickets open for?

Until they sell out, we have a fixed number of tickets in each price category

Darn. I'll keep my fingers crossed they don't sell out until I get a little more cash on hand and can buy one then! :)

They do, every day.
