By now everyone who normally reads our news bits knows about Apple’s decision to not be a part of MacWorld Expo in 2010. This article by Peter Cohen of Macworld.com covers many of the challenges involved in Expo continuing into the future.
I’ve been attending Macworld Expos regularly since about 1991 or so, first as a civilian, then as a booth worker, and, for the past decade or so, as a journalist. I’ve seen the show evolve and change a lot over the years.
Personally, I have attended Expos longer than Peter, especially if you count the AppleFests in the pre Mac days. But since Peter has been doing his attendance in ‘91 he may have caught up with me number of conference attended.
The Expo will not be the same without Apple, but hopefully we can continue to get together and celebrate all that is Mac.
