Macworld/iWorld

Macworld/iWorld[1] (originally Macworld[2]) was an information technology trade show with conference tracks dedicated to Apple's Mac platform. It was held annually in the United States during January. Originally Macworld Expo and then Macworld Conference & Exposition, the gathering dates back to 1985.[3] The conference was organized by International Data Group (IDG), co-publisher of Macworld magazine.

On December 18, 2008, Apple announced that the 2009 Macworld Conference & Expo would be the last in which the company participates.[4][5][6][7] On October 14, 2014, IDG suspended Macworld/iWorld indefinitely.[8]
