Macworld without Apple: The show will go on

When Apple announced last year that the 2009 Macworld conference would be its last, there were some rumblings as to whether the show could continue without Apple's presence - and the big keynote speech that the company offered every year. No one ever said the show would...

PR Blues

Immediately prior to an event, such as IDG World Expo's OpenSource World or VMware's VMworld, suppliers having something new to offer and planning an announcement at the event do their best to "get out the word out" to analysts, consultants and journalists (A/C/Js).

IDG on thin crowds: OpenSource World is invitation only

Earlier today, I posted an entry from the kick-off keynote at OpenSource World and noted that the crowds were pretty light. From my viewpoint, there were probably all of about 250 or so people in that room. Having attended LinuxWorld last year, I couldn't help but wonder what caused such...

Can Macworld Expo survive without Apple?

Yesterday's earth-shattering announcement that Apple will abruptly stop exhibiting at Macworld Expo after January's event sent shockwaves through the Mac community.

Linuxworld/NGDC San Francisco

As I walked the show floor at LinuxWorld/Next Generation Datacenter Conference in San Francisco, I saw evidence of a show in transistion. This reminds me of UNIX shows I attended in the early 1980s. As with UNIX, Linux has become a common part of organizational datacenters and IT staff members...

LinuxWorld and the Next Generation Datacenter
