Macworld Conference & Expo is the social event of the Mac season. Once a year Mac geeks gather to bask in the glow of new products, learn some cool stuff, and meet Mac notables and fellow Mac users. I've been to my fair share of Macworlds, and it is always a good time.
That's why I am happy to report that
registration for Macworld 2008, happening in San Francisco January 14 through the 19th, 2008, is open. If you register before October 5th you can get a free Exhibit pass (using Priority Code: 08-E-VF01) or special rates for the higher end passes (which allow you into the various classes and labs offered at the Conference).
TUAW will be on the ground, running around blogging, interviewing folks, and shooting some cool videos (well, at least we hope they will be cool). Hope to see you there.
Update: Left off the last digit of the code.

Sure, we're ready for the SDK in February but I'm interested in what kind of in-your-face iPhone buccaneer products will be seen this week. So I'm putting out a call to all you TUAW readers who plan to attend the exhibits: if you can find any iPhone demos, by which I mean 3rd party exhibitors who are showing off unofficial iPhone apps, would you please snap a picture and send in a short description about the circumstances of the iPhone product? I'll gather them all together and put up a gallery here at TUAW. Thanks!
For an Apple blogger, I've a little admission to make: this year is going to be the first time I'll have made the 10,716 mile round-trip to
