As usual this time of year, analysts are busy predicting sales over the holiday season and attention turns towards the next big Apple event and the new products that might be released. While it is still too early for this season's round of rumors, preparations for the 2007 Macworld Expo are well underway and details are coming in.

First up, IDG World Expo has announced that Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, will be delivering the opening keynote address for Macworld Conference & Expo which will be held at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center between the 8th and 12th of January. The keynote is scheduled to take place on January 9, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. at Moscone West.

"Steve's keynote is always a great way to kick off the biggest Mac event of the year," said David Korse, CEO of IDG World Expo, in the press release. "We've added several new features to this year's event, and we're working hard to make this the most entertaining and informative Macworld ever."

As for the rest of the event, Macworld 2007 will be hosting professionals from a cross-section of industries including design, print, online, photography, broadcast, videography and music. A total of 350 companies will be present on the exhibit floor, over 120 educational sessions will be taking place and an innovative set of exhibit floor attractions - including a free training series, an interactive Digital Photography area and live Music and Sound product demonstrations - should ensure that there is plenty for everyone to get excited about.
