Apple said chief executive Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave, will 'kick off' the company's annual developers' conference on June 6.
The brief statement issued today did not make clear what role Jobs would play at the conference or whether he would be coming back from medical leave.
An appearance by Jobs, a survivor of pancreatic cancer, would mark one of the few occasions he has been seen in public on the company's behalf since he went on his third medical leave in January.
The 56-year-old cancer survivor will present Apple's new operating system, dubbed 'Lion' at a developers conference in San Francisco on June 6.
Jobs went on leave in January, his third medical absence since 2004, but has retained his title of chief executive at Apple.
He underwent an operation for pancreatic cancer in 2004 and received a liver transplant in 2009, but Apple has not released any details about his latest health issues.
