This was the first article I wrote here... but.... it turns out I orphaned Macworld Expo by doing so. I edited Apple Macintosh and noticed that it listed MacWorld Expo, which had incorrect capitalization, so I decided to fix that. While I was at it, I also fixed the name so that it would match what IDG calls it. I didn't notice I had orphaned the article until later. (doh!)
No idea what to do about it... since i'm new. -- Bugmuncher
The infamous Steve Jobs keynote starring Bill Gates as Big Brother was in August 1997. So should the "Since 1998" year be 1997 or possibly earlier? Just wondering. AlistairMcMillan 05:41, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I removed this section -- it seems pretty pointless to me. A list of wining-and-dining by various organizations at Macworld Expo could take up an entire article, and bore everyone to tears. It's a trade show; companies sponsor parties. Unlike the Knife party or the Hess list, I don't think magazines hosting parties really qualifies as part of the show's true "culture." It seems to lack perspective. Jsnell 04:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
In the MacBook Pro presentation, Steve said that Apple developed Sudden Motion Sensor and if I am not mistaken he said it in a context that they hold patents for it... Is that really true? I mean, my ThinkPad R51 has IBM Active Protection System, and I've got it in the summer of 2004, whilst the SMotionSensor was only introduced last year... MureninC 23:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Equal to the excitement of the party scene was the camaraderie among the speakers at the show. Peggy Kilburn was responsible for bringing together an array of speakers known for their excellence at presenting rather than their high-profile positions. Speakers received a t-shirt or sweatshirt as well as an attractive and well-designed totebag that featured the specific show logo (different for each event date). The occasionally well-hidden speaker's lounge was a welcome respite from the sometimes frenetic pace of the show floor. Speakers from BMUG, LaserBoard, and other major user groups spoke side by side with magazine editors and new venture leaders. David Pogue, Steve Case, and Bob LeVitus were among the speakers brought in by Kilburn. (contributed by User:Drgitlow.)
Regarding the mention of Spore (video game) in the 2008 section: does this bear mention? Is this one product among many, or a highlight of the show? I see two sources cited, Cnet and Joystiq, which seems to indicate some relevance. Thoughts, anyone? – Luna Santin ( talk) 23:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

This article could sure use some more detail. And why is 1997, the most important MacWorld Expo ever, barely even mentioned? I don't have access to MacWorld and other periodicals to get all the dates and details. But with the lack of information, it's difficult to reconstruct the history of the meteoric return of Steve Jobs to Apple without dates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.107.11.94 ( talk) 10:56, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
If anyone could post this information it would be helpful and relevant to see where attendance figures are and where they have been.
