Steve Jobs to deliver Macworld Expo keynote

Apple CEO Steve Jobs will once again deliver the opening keynote address at the Macworld Conference & Expo to kick off this year's gathering of Apple-oriented fans and companies. Each year Jobs has historically used the keynote address as a stage for introducing new products and/or services, and this year analysts say the company could debut a new Apple-branded ultra-portable subnotebook.

"This is one of the biggest Mac community gatherings of the year and Steve’s keynote is always the most anticipated event of the week," said Mary Dolaher, CEO of IDG World Expo. "We're looking forward to a great show and are thrilled that Steve will once again be kicking it off."

Macworld Conference and Expo 2008 will host creative professionals from a cross-section of industries including design, print, online, photography, broadcast, videography and music. In addition to an exhibit floor featuring over 350 companies, the event will offer a conference with more than 120 educational sessions as well as a set of exhibit floor attractions which include a free training series, an interactive Digital Photography area, and live Music alongside Sound product demonstrations.

It is actually pretty meaningful. Generally speaking, if there are no major announcements, Steve doesn't bother to show.

Um, no it isn't. I don't think Steve has missed a MWSF in many years (and I think he only blew off the last MWNY because they were going to move it, but I may be wrong).

There's a large crowd of the Mac-adoring public drooling over every word that has to be said. You think Jobs would skip such a love-fest?

Oh, and he's appeared at several MW shows where there's been little 'grand new products' to crow about. There's the one where the big announcement was the iPod mini, in five fabulous colors! Or the one in NY where they announced the FlowerPower and Dalmation iMacs!

Of course, it all depends on your definition of 'major announcement'.

Not that I can't find it on my own, but the post would have been more helpful if you told the readers (us) when Macworld Expo is going to take place.

All fine, but i liked the comments about the man who discovered that trees are made of wood and the weather forecast...

Why do you think I bother to read these silly comments ? Just to brighten my boring day at the office....

It's always good to know that Steve Jobs will be present to deliver the Keynote. What if he decided that he would not deliver it for one year? Does anyone remember NY Macworld Expo????
