I've never been to one - but I would imagine that less people from other countries would now travel to SF for this event. I would expect locals to attend.
I for sure will attend if it goes ahead, which is looking quite possible from this e-mail.

Yeah, this will probably be the last one, or at least the last one I'll be paying attention to. Without the Stevenote to "rally the troops", there's not much point.

Apple previously announced that 2009 would be their final year participating in Macworld Expo.

what can we expect?? i have no idea what's going on there
I 2nd that. What can we look forward to? haha
Ya it is a shame that Apple wont be there. I guess I will keep my expectations focused on the WWDC...
or just on their own internal timelines for announcing new products - their stated reason for not participating anymore. it just didn't make sense to keep shelling out big bucks for an outdated system.
Of course. It doesnt really matter in the end where they release new products, it just matters that they do. I will still be excited.
empty halls, but it will be canceled before january anyway.what can we expect?? i have no idea what's going on there
I agree with you. It is a pretty big loss that Apple wont be there, but people will still go.
Yeah your right..Ilounge landed a huge section of that show and with out apple there, there is no longer a need for mac..
You answered your own question. Trade shows are pretty much dying off all over. There just isn't a compelling case to be made for them anymore, now that we've got this new-fangled intarweb.
Yet there are still many many many yearly events that diehards love (think trek convention types) and go to. Attendance may fall off a bit and the event may not be a massive to do anymore, but many of them are surviving in smaller forms.
I don't think Macworld will die off entirely, just change a bit to accomodate its new role.
Or maybe not. Maybe there is a common ground that the Die-Hards will still go, but it will just become smaller.
Thats my final answer.
Thats my final answer.

Expect dozens of vendors selling iPod accessories...
Outside of that, nothing interesting.
They'll be begging people to take their free expo passes.
It has already been smaller since 9/11.
Before 9/11 the expo took up BOTH the north and south halls.
Vendors decided at the time to focus on using the web for customer interaction.
Macworld New York/Boston died after Apple pulled out. Apple Expo Paris was cancelled this year after Apple pulled out.
IDG certainly has their hands full trying to keep this going.
