IDG To Hold Town Hall on Macworld Future

IDG, promoter of the Macworld Expo 2009 in San Francisco, Calif. next week, is asking Mac fans to help shape a future without Apple. A Town Hall event is set for Jan. 7.

The Town Hall is designed to help IDG “shape Macworld in 2010 and beyond,” according to a statement.

Acknowledging 2009 will be without Apple CEO Steve Jobs and the last year the Cupertino, Calif.-based company will participate, future Macworld’s will increase the focus on the “Mac community,” including users and product developers, IDC said.

Soon after Apple announced its plans to drop Macworld appearances, the event’s organizers vowed to continue. Analysts have scaled back their expectations for Macworld Expo.
