In the run up to next month's BlackBerry World event, RIM has detailed a number of sessions set to take place.

It will kick off with words from CEO Thorsten Heins in the BlackBerry World General Session, while the most anticipated open sessions will be those in the BlackBerry 10 OS track, in which the company will detail its new operating system, and maybe provide some thoughts about devices. 

As well as talks, there's are instructor-led labs focusing on the BlackBerry Native SDK, HTML5 and BlackBerry WebWorks, Adobe Flash, and BlackBerry Runtime for Android apps.

Perhaps the most popular part of the event, however, will be the BlackBerry 10 Jam. 

This is where selected developers will get their hands on the first release of the BlackBerry 10 Developer Tools.

Attendees will also be provided with a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device. This is a prototype device only for developers to help them design apps for the BlackBerry 10 form factor.

BlackBerry World and BlackBerry 10 Jam will take place in Orlando, Florida, 1-3 May.
