Paris...Can/Should I go?

[appledu]

Hello all,

I hope this is the right forum...

Right, I have a meeting in Paris on the 12th at 2pm in the centre of town...
I've never been to a Mac conference before, heck, I don't even own a Mac, but I plan on getting one at the end of the year....and was thinking that I could maybe go in the morning...

So, can anyone go and is it free?

Is it worth going?

Thinking about it, I don't know if I'll have the time to go, as I get there that morning, and will probably be leaving that evening, except if I have to stay a couple of days...

Is anyone else going?

It's not free, but it's pretty cheap (12€). Link to info.

If you can swing it, I'd go if for nothing else than to see a ton of Apple-related products, and potentially get first-hand sightings of new equipment.

The visitor badge (free or paid for) is available for the duration of the 5 day show.

Good, it's not WWDC prices...😎

I'm really tempted but don't know if I'll have the time...

Steve's not going to have a keynote there is he?

Will there be a keynote?

There will be a keynote. Who will do it most likely Steve.

Our hearts go out to all the Apple Expo Paris attendees in the audience, for Steve Jobs will not be giving a keynote yet again this year. In fact, there won't be any keynote at all. A show representative confirmed this keynote-less announcement with Macworld UK, citing that, while Apple has seen "significant" market share gains in France lately, they also mention the whole 'open up your FairPlay, or else' issue the French government is trying to force on Apple.

Can anyone vouch for this?

That sucks, and how would they know????

The will be no Steve keynote at the Paris Expo.

END. OF. STORY.

So going would be as bit of a waste of time.

Oh well...

Won't go then...
I'll just go to a big store and mess around with the Macs on display...🙄

I would go. Just for the sake of having done it. Less regrets that way, ya know?
