Hi All / Trish:
For me, it will depend a lot on what if any activities specifically
designed for User Group members or Executives take place, and at this
point I am not overly optimistic that there will be much of that.
In the past, I could justify an entire week's participation. A bunch of
us from different MUGS would drive down together from Canada on the
Saturday before the show, do the tourist routine for a day or two, take
in UGU, then find ways to help out at various UG functions over the
three days of the show, then head home the following Saturday.
Personally, I never found that taking in the MacWorld Exhibits required
all three days, but it was all about staying together as a group for
the week and smoozing with all the other User Group, vendor, and Apple
folks that we'd known from prior events, plus making new contacts.
Under the new approach, I doubt if there would be "User Group
Breakfasts" or a "User Group Lounge" or maybe even "User Group Guides"
to keep the adrenalin pumping over all three days. If there was a UGU,
I might particupate for that and maybe one day of the show, but I would
probably make it a holiday week with my wife out of which I only spend
one or two days at the Mac events and the balance would be just a very
nice New York City holiday.
Our local User Group is community-based, and the demographic makeup of
our members does NOT really match the sort of audience to which CREATE
is targeted. They would have to extend the scope of "create" well down
into the consumer level applications like iLife before there might be a
match. Not that a whole lot of our club members would be making the
trip of NYC anyway, but my point is simply that my participation in MW
NYC was also always driven by a sense of "what can I do here that will
be of ultimate value to our MUG members" and my sense is that this will
be more difficult if Create is targeted at higher end, professional,
Mac users when my club has few people matching this profile.
That's my two cents (Canadian) worth!
Jim
