I hope not. That sounds pretty rediculous.

Reportedly, there were many customers who requested a postponement because of current security concerns.

With the majority of attendees having to use air travel to get to LA, it is not hard to imagine why. Also, a prominent Beverly Hills hotel in LA is not the most relaxing environment to hold a conference at the moment.

Attendance at the Seybold conference was way down on historical levels.

Nice of them to have QuickTime Live 2001 in 2002, lol.

Why the rescheduling? As you probably guessed, and as confirmed by Phil Schiller, "many QuickTime developers and customers asked [Apple] to reschedule QuickTime Live to a less stressful time." Apple, always happy to help, obligingly moved the event to next February 10-14. There are just two potential snags with that new date, however. The first is that "QuickTime Live! 2001" is now going to take place in 2002, which may cause the heads of some of the more numerically uptight people out there to catch fire from the inside. Moreover, simply renaming the event with the proper year means that there will be two "QuickTime Live! 2002" conferences next year, which is hardly better. Frankly, we don't see any solution to a problem of this magnitude. Clearly we're all doomed.

Of course they want to delay it. This conference was more affected than the Apple Expo Paris was. You might remember that Daniel Lewin, CEO of Akamai, was a passanger on the first jet to crash into the WTC. He was scheudled to speak at this year's conference.
