By changing the name from Macworld Expo to "Create", IDG Expos has lost the
identity of this summer event. Unless they advertise the heck out of it,
turnout will be poor. I'm guessing there will be no gaming area or education
area (two fairly popular sections of Macworlds past). No Steve Jobs keynote
means there probably won't be any significant announcements from Apple at
the event. While I'm a creative person, I'm not going. It's expensive to
stay in the NYC area, and by basically cutting MWNY in half in terms of
features (exhibits, keynote, areas of focus) it's just not worth the 10 hour
drive for me. Heck, Adobe and Macromedia didn't even show up at last year's
MWNY, who thinks they'll come to a watered-down event with an unadvertised
name?
Bad move, IDG...and bad move for moving it to Boston too.
