Don't really follow your question, however, Macworld magazine is still in publication but by digital subscription only. They no longer issue a print edition. MacLife magazine still issues a print edition but who knows for how long?

Charlie: hand123 is referring to the MacWorld/iWorld CONFERENCE held each year in San Francisco. After Apple pulled out quite a long time ago, the conference continued as MacWorld/iWorld reflecting the increasing importance of iOS devices and accessories. I attended the last one, which was in March of 2014. It was a fairly robust trade show, but of course just a shadow of its former self. It's a pity, I enjoyed them and met lots of my favourite developers there.
To answer the original question, there's not really an event of that scale to "replace" MW/iW, but Apple is running a series of "tech talks" in cities around the US for developers and other interested attendees who couldn't make it to WWDC: http://www.macnn.com/articles/15/11...apple.tv.development.in.ten.city.tour.131243/
And of course, any large-scale computer show, like Computex in Taipei, the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, or Mobile World Congress in Barcelona are likely to be very iOS device and to a lesser extent Apple oriented, as it is the leading company/trendsetter in the industry now.

Thanks for the clarification chas. I should have noticed he mentioned "conventions".
