Apple Expo Paris shutting down

The similarities here are not lost on us. The Apple Expo in Paris was able to continue for a little bit after Apple pulled out, but ultimately, it had to be put down. The same thing essentially happened to the now-defunct Macworld New York (previously Macworld Boston) conference that used to happen every summer before it got reduced to a single yearly gathering in San Francisco. While IDG claims that it plans to keep the Macworld Expo going at least through 2010 (and hopefully longer), the 800-pound gorilla in the room is the sad realization that such a thing may not happen for long.
