The dates for the Macworld Expo 2010 have been announced and the event is moving to February. The event will now take place in San Francisco from February 9 - 13 (Tuesday - Saturday).

According to TUAW the move to February is an answer to everyone who has asked to move the expo to a less stressful time of the year. Developers now have extra time to finish up their product demos, and exhibitors can breathe a bit easier as they plan out their booth schedule.

Additionally, the expo will run through Saturday allowing attendees a weekend to attend while taking off less time for work. Previously the event had been Monday - Friday.

Macworld should be interesting in 2010; with Apple no longer attending will the event see a decline in attendance or use this as an opportunity to grow?
