This thread captures people making plans and reporting back from a past Linux show. For context: LinuxWorld Conference & Expo ran as a major industry event from 1998 through 2009 (the final edition was renamed OpenSource World). (en.wikipedia.org)

To verify what happened at the January 2004 New York edition, contemporary press and project pages are the best sources. Professional coverage and photo-recaps from the time (for example Wired and eWeek) record keynotes, vendor announcements, and show highlights; project newsletters and wikis (Debian, etc.) often note booth presences and logistics. Use those primary reports rather than relying only on forum anecdotes. (wired.com)

For current, active conferences that play a similar role today, consult the Linux Foundation events calendar (Open Source Summit, Embedded Linux Conference and related gatherings) and large community-run meetings such as FOSDEM, which publish schedules and recorded talks. These official event sites give up-to-date programs, registration details, and video archives you can use to follow speakers or find slides. (events.linuxfoundation.org)

Practical tips for research or for attending modern equivalents: use the Wayback Machine to recover defunct conference pages and vendor press kits; search project mailing lists and vendor press releases for primary evidence; look for session recordings and slide decks on the event video archive or YouTube. Treat the firsthand notes in this thread (for example posts by and ) as useful signposts — but confirm dates, speakers, and announcements with the primary sources above. (en.wikipedia.org)
