    Well, I won't get into personal preferences, but Boston is tiny, less active, relatively less accessible, and there's a much more limited market for hotel rooms. The locations available in Boston for such an expo are smaller, and less centrally located.

    The last Boston expo I attended had to be split between two locations that were both on the fringes of the city. The public transit system here is weak compared to NYC, the restaurants and the sites are also a far cry from what's available in Manhattan. NYC has world-wide cachet and recognition, as well as being the cultural and financial capital of the US... Boston is -- to put it kindly -- not.

    I'm a veteran of several MacWorld Expos (both Boston and NY) and I'm a Boston resident. Personally, I think it'd be a huge error to have the MWExpo in Boston again.
