Macworld San Francisco 2009: Flickr Gallery, 2010?
Macworld Expo 2009 officially ended on Friday, and media and attendees have since scattered back to their respective locations. Beyond the product announcements themselves, we certainly enjoyed meeting up with readers and other Mac personalities from around the world. Delicious Monster sponsored a meetup for our readers and the following companies provided giveaway prizes: Dr Bott, Speck, Beejive, Iconfactory, Just Mobile, and Ten One Design. Thanks to them.
Blake Patterson's Macworld San Francisco Flickr Photo Set captures the Macworld experience from the keynote line, pre-keynote waiting, opening of floor and even down to late night bar gatherings and a 3 a.m. Denny's run. Gatherings involved both familiar faces (Gruber) and newcomers (Fieldrunners developers)
The fight for 2010 seems to be on as CNet has confirmed that CES is organizing a Mac-themed area next year and is actively recruiting Mac exhibitors. Meanwhile, IDG/Macworld has already opened expo-pass registration for Macworld SF 2010 and appears to be offering free floor passes at this early date (normally $25-$45).

i still think that apple should attend larger media events so that consumers can compare their devices to competitors ones.

I think that's what they don't want.

Here's hoping Macworld can find a way to go on and be successful for many years in the future. It's a worthwhile event that deserves to continue. :)

To clarify people - CES is not open to consumers. It is an industry/press trade show only. The general public cannot get in.
This makes it even less likely, in my opinion, that Apple will go to CES next year.
To me this makes CES sort of pointless, after all, surely it doesn't matter if the press like your product, it matters far more if consumers like it and want to buy it. It can have all the good reviews in the world, but if it doesn't sell, its a flop.

Yeah, Apple at CES would make sense. That would be a good way to show Mac newcomers why they are so much better than pc's.

You do not make sense. If I release a product I want full coverage from the media. Why do I care if the people think if the product is good or not... it is already released!
I believe Apple want to compete frontally "in their own ground" against other brands and no play safe on its "own side". They want to reach another market, no reinforced their image on the same people over and over again.
If they come up with a keynote at the CES THAT will call the attention... who knows... probably even with Jobs.
