  236.  <p>IDG WORLD EXPO AND THE CITY OF BOSTON BRING MACWORLD HOME</p>
  237. <p>After six years in New York, world's largest Mac tradeshow returns in 2004;<br />
  238. will be inaugural event at new Boston Convention & Exhibition Center</p>
  239. <p>BOSTON, October 17, 2002 - IDG World Expo, the leading producer of<br />
  240. world-class tradeshows, conferences and events for IT markets around the<br />
  241. globe, today announced that the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center<br />
  242. (BCEC) will be home to Macworld Conference & Expo July 12-15, 2004. The<br />
  243. tradeshow, which drew more than 58,000 attendees in July 2002 and is the<br />
  244. world's most comprehensive Mac OS event, will remain at New York City's<br />
  245. Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in July 2003 before becoming the first<br />
  246. event in Boston's newest convention center the following year.</p>
  247. <p>Macworld Conference & Expo spent 13 of its 18 years in Boston, before<br />
  248. outgrowing available space distributed among three convention facilities.<br />
  249. In 1998, Macworld was moved to New York City and, over the next few years,<br />
  250. grew to become that city's largest technology tradeshow.</p>
  251. <p>The tradeshow's homecoming was coordinated by IDG World Expo, the Office of<br />
  252. the Mayor of Boston, the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, the<br />
  253. Massachusetts Convention Center Authority and a concerted effort by the<br />
  254. city's hospitality community. With the completion of the new BCEC in 2004,<br />
  255. Boston will again have the necessary space to accommodate the event =BE this<br />
  256. time under one roof.</p>
  257. <p>"I am proud to announce that Macworld is coming back to Boston, where it<br />
  258. was born, and where it belongs," said Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "I want to<br />
  259. thank and congratulate all the parties that worked diligently to negotiate<br />
  260. this milestone agreement, particularly North End native Charlie Greco. I<br />
  261. look forward with great anticipation to July 12, 2004, when Macworld will<br />
  262. christen the new Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. I cannot think of a<br />
  263. more appropriate catalyst to propel our convention and hospitality industry<br />
  264. into the new millennium."</p>
  265. <p>"IDG World Expo is excited to bring Macworld back home to Boston in 2004<br />
  266. for its 20th anniversary," said IDG World Expo President and CEO Charlie<br />
  267. Greco. "We have had a number of successful years in New York, but we're<br />
  268. also eager to return to the loyal audience that's based in Boston. With the<br />
  269. support of so many exhibitors and attendees, we are confident that Macworld<br />
  270. will bring upwards of $40 million in revenues to the city. Mayor Menino,<br />
  271. the Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Massachusetts Convention Center<br />
  272. Authority deserve much credit for their hard work, which ultimately paved<br />
  273. the way for Macworld's return."</p>
  274. <p>The agreement to bring Macworld back to Boston, negotiated over the course<br />
  275. of this summer, was designed specifically to provide tangible benefits to<br />
  276. regionally-based businesses, Macworld exhibitors and Macworld attendees.<br />
  277. Highlights of the agreement include:</p>
  278. <p>* Three years of secured dates in the new convention center initially, with<br />
  279. two additional years of secured dates optional</p>
  280. <p>* Significant exhibitor discounts on exhibitor-related services, such as<br />
  281. electrical, telephone and catering services</p>
  282. <p>* Reduced rates at a number of quality Boston hotels, with most priced at<br />
  283. $150 per night with price caps to ensure continued savings for upcoming<br />
  284. Macworld events</p>
  285. <p>* Specially arranged transportation services and discounts for exhibitors<br />
  286. and attendees, consisting of local shuttles, bus transport, trains and air<br />
  287. travel</p>
  288. <p>* A variety of promotions to generate excitement about and participation in<br />
  289. Macworld, ranging from indoor and outdoor banner and billboard signage to<br />
  290. hospitality support</p>
  291. <p>* Use of the city's Parkman House in the week leading up to and including<br />
  292. Macworld</p>
  293. <p>* Use of the courtyard at the Boston Public Library for special Macworld<br />
  294. functions</p>
  295. <p>* Special discount cards for exhibitors and attendees to be used at<br />

  297. <p>"Macworld will return to a dramatically different Boston than it left in<br />
  298. 1998," said Pat Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention &<br />
  299. Visitors Bureau. "With its new state-of-the-art convention center and<br />
  300. significantly improved offerings, Boston will easily be able to accommodate<br />
  301. a world-class tradeshow such as Macworld."</p>
  302. <p>"This news is fabulous, and it's so fitting that a world class event like<br />
  303. Macworld will be the first event at our brand new, world class convention<br />
  304. center," said Gloria Larson, chairman of the Massachusetts Convention<br />
  305. Center Authority. "In the years to come, Boston will realize a huge<br />
  306. economic return on its investment in the convention center, and I can't<br />
  307. think of a better way to kick that off than by bringing Macworld back to<br />
  308. Boston in July of 2004."</p>
  309. <p>"Sonnet has been a Macworld exhibitor for over 12 years, and our first<br />
  310. Boston show was in 1991," recalls Sonnet Technologies President and CEO<br />
  311. Robert Farnsworth. "We still have fond memories of Boston and the<br />
  312. excitement and energy that those early Macworld shows generated. We look<br />
  313. forward to returning to one of the Mac community's most nostalgic locales,<br />
  314. and to enjoying the new conference facilities and the wonderful historical<br />
  315. charm of the city of Boston."</p>
