I've seen at least 12-15 Apple engineers (from the backend Siri team) at MesosCon this year and last year when I went. In fact, they gave a talk[1] about how the re-did the entire Siri backend ontop of Mesos and it has became much more reliable as a result.

I think he might mean things more like CES and other trade shows. Apple has frequently been involved in technical conferences.

Ah got it. I don't honestly see the value of a lot of those types of conferences. Apple is a marketing company with some serious engineering talent.
