I just received this in the mail from IDG World Expo:
Dear ADAM JACKSON,
We wanted you to be the first to know: IDG World Expo announced today that Macworld will be moving from its traditional January event dates to February 9 – 13, 2010. The location will remain at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
As we began the planning process for 2010, the Mac community – exhibitors, attendees, media and fans of the show – made it clear that February would be a more ideal time to hold the event, so we listened. The Conference programs are scheduled for Tuesday through Saturday, February 9 – 13 and the Expo will be held Thursday through Saturday, February 11-13th.
The Macworld team is focused on making Macworld 2010 the most productive, efficient and content-rich event for you, our valued attendee. For 25 years, Macworld has been the pre-eminent event focused solely on the Apple products ecosystem, and in 2010 Macworld will continue to be the most important event for the Mac community to gather face-to-face and see, share, learn, and explore the best and most innovative technology, tools, and toys for the Mac platform.
Free Expo Hall registration for Macworld 2010 will remain open, for a limited time, so tell your friends and colleagues to register today. As we continue to build next year’s event we will be contacting you with updates on new vendors, expo hall highlights and speakers that have been added. We encourage you to continue emailing your feedback and comments to suggestionbox@macworld2010.com.
The journey toward a new era for Macworld has begun and we are more excited about this ride than ever before. The Macworld Team
Hmm.. I’m going to leave the speculation up to the experts on this one. If you’ve already made travel plans for January (all 5 of you) then it’s time to push those dates back.
