IDG announced today that Apple CEO Steve Jobs will deliver the Macworld keynote address on Tuesday, Jan. 10 at 9:00 a.m. will be held at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center January 9-13, 2006. IDG recently cancelled its sumer Macworld Expo in favor of focusing on the January event. Last year's Macworld in San Francisco had sizable growth from the previous year with an 11% overall attendance increase. There was also a 13% increase in the number of paid conference delegates; a 10% increase in the number of exhibitors; and a 31% increase in the average number of hours spent on the exhibit hall floor by attendees. "Steve’s keynote is always a great way to kick off the biggest Mac event of the year,” said David Korse, CEO of IDG World Expo. "We’ve added several new features to this year’s event, and we’re working hard to make this the most entertaining and informative Macworld ever."
