Apple moves WWDC date, location, will show Mac OS X "Panther"; What about Macworld Expo NY?

Apple has rescheduled its 2003 Worldwide Developers Conference in order to provide developers with a more complete preview release of the next version of Mac OS X, code named "Panther." Originally scheduled for May 19-23 in San Jose, the conference will now be held June 23-27 at San Francisco's Moscone Center.

The move puts WWDC critically close to the Macworld Expo in New York, planned for July 14-18. With many attendees and exhibitors planning on attending both shows, a new time schedule could force some to choose one or the other.

Apple still maintains that it will not participate in an East coast Macworld Expo this year, and no keynote plans have been announced.

The Early Bird registration discount scheduled to end on April 18, 2003 has been extended to May 23, 2003. Developers who have already registered for WWDC 2003 can contact the Apple Developer Connection. For more information, visit Apple's page.
