This week’s weeklong MacWorld Expo in Boston is missing something. It’s missing Apple Corporation. When conference promoter, IDG decided to move MacWorld from New York city back to Boston, Apple said that it did not think it was a good move for them or the show. At today’s opening ceremonies, there will be no Apple at the Boston show.
Surely this will disappoint Mac fans, who will not get to see the latest nor greatest gadgets to come out of Cupertino this year. At the January conference Apple unveiled its new iPod mini music player to the delight of the crowds and assembled analysts. Apple says it remains 100 percent committed to the west coast show which will be held in San Francisco next January.
The loss of Apple, the change of venue, and falling trade show attendance in general cause show promoters to predict a crowd of just 10,000 this year compared to 15,000 at last year’s east coast show. The California expo draws more than 32,000. The number of exhibitors will also drop from 130 to fewer than 80. The first MacWorld Expo was held in Boston in 1985.
