Catching Up with Expo

By John Pastor • January 9, 2009

Macworld Expo officially came to an end on Friday evening, and some people say it wasn’t like how it used to be in the past. The show floor seemed boring and lacking new and exciting products.

I only spent about 30 minutes at the Apple booth before leaving to check out the rest of the show floor. What could IDG do to increase attendance without Apple?

Two people were in line as of 8:15 PM Pacific time and we expect the line to grow slowly until people get in the line early Tuesday morning.

The typical shrouded Apple booth photos are now up on italian site SetteB.IT, also showing the slogan “Even the small talk will be big” banners that are not to be confused with the Apple banners typically seen (ex. “There’s something in the air”). These banners were put up by IDG World Expo show management throughout the South of Market (SoMA) area.

It’s almost that time of year, where the Apple fanatics gather for a week in San Francisco to experience the latest and greatest products from Apple (for the last time) and the other vendors.
