JupiterMedia: Computer Digital Expo, Las Vegas - Nov. 17-21, 2003 - The Comdex Alternative

Anil Dash brings to our attention that CD Expo appears to have been cancelled. The above link goes to a Google Cache version of what was the CD Expo Conference page. The event's actual page is now just a re-direct to the Jupiter Events home page.

Alan Meckler comments on the situation here. Again, this is a Google cached page as it seems Meckler has taken his blog down.

Alan was counting on Key3Media's (parent of Comdex) bankruptcy so he could step in with his replacement conference, CD Expo. Looks like things have not gone as he had hoped. Very interesting.

Update: Now mentioned in the New York Times

June 4 update (by Olivier): Alan Meckler (no permalink) asserts those are just rumors. How strange that his blog and the page about the expo weren't available on the exact same day… We'll have people at ClickZ's weblog conference next week, maybe we'll learn more then.
