Apple CEO Tim Cook to appear at WSJDLive conference in October
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook will take top billing in appearing for an interview at the first-ever WSJDLive technology conference, to be held in California in late October.
The new invitation-only conference from The Wall Street Journal will be held Oct. 27 through 29 at the Montage in Laguna Beach, Calif., and it was revealed on Friday that Cook will participate. His appearance comes after the CEO ceded the spotlight to Apple executives Eddy Cue and Jimmy Iovine at the Code Conference earlier this year.
Other notable names at the WSJDLive conference include Jack Ma of Alibaba, Dreamworks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, Waze CEO Noam Bardin, and Sue Desmond-Hellmann of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The event will be hosted by Journal editor in chief Gerard Baker, deputy editor in chief Rebecca Blumenstein, business editor Dennis Berman, and global technology editor Jonathan Krim.
"In bringing together this global cast of CEOs of some of the world's largest, most entrepreneurial and most dynamic companies, along with thought leaders, policymakers and innovators, WSJDLive will host an unrivaled conversation about the promise and challenges of the modern digital world," Baker said.
The event will actually run concurrently with the Code/Mobile Conference, put on by Re/code, which is staffed by former the Journal employees including Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, who spun off after founding AllThingsD. Apple's Greg Joswiak will appear at the competing conference scheduled for Oct. 27 and 28.

I want him to whale on the WSJ for allowing what they publish.
Hopefully this conference will follow new product announcements in October too.
With the brand new iPhones just released today, the next Apple event on Oct 21 (supposedly), and then this conference about one week later makes for a very busy fall for Apple.
BTW - I read that the line for the Apple store (fifth ave) stretched from 59 street (where the Apple store is located) to 86th street! Insane!
I think Tim is becoming much too overexposed with all the interviews he's been giving lately. I wish Apple would go back to keeping the lamestream media at arms length while they put their energies into making great stuff.
I thought that was nope’d.
It’s not the largest company in the world now.
I thought that was nope’d.
I must've missed that.
But if it's officially been "nope'd", then nope it is. He has never, ever been wrong as far back as I can recall.
Yeah, that sure means size, it does¡ ????
So... NOT the size, then. Thanks for agreeing.
The date was Nopeded!
Still most likely in October though...
Was it just the date or was it the event entirely? I can’t imagine the latter, which only leaves the 14th.
The same one as in yours. Unfortunately, my US is only 50 states and limited to North America and the Pacific... Unless HTML stands for Hyperdimensional Tachyonic Messaging Language.
iPhone 6/Plus + iOS 8 = the Android Killer.
and the new better than ever iPads aren't even here yet ...
NB: it's impossible to overstate the dramatically growing importance of security in consumers' minds - especially those with assets to protect. the reports of massive credit card breaches and identifity theft and web attack sites etc. etc. just keep on coming. Cook hit the ball out of the park with his Security statement backed up with Touch ID, Apple Pay, etc. everyone who worries about these things is going to switch from Droid to iOS now. Google has no defense - they're the f'ing ringleader of the privacy invaders.

He should rip them a new newshole.
So what is the biggest company in the world?
The Catholic church.
Biggest company in the world?
U.S. Plus. "We're U.S. Plus - We own the idea of America!"

Really? Has the cap been calculated?
Why does he do so many public appearances?
