My original reply was a joke, why does it seem like every year there is an anniversary? Get it?
Anyway, product releases have anniversaries, concepts less so. For example a theme called "mass storage", but I am not here to argue. Anniversaries serve as an anchor to be interpreted as each exhibitor sees fit.

Anniversaries resonate with people and are a good enough reason to rotate themes with the public and its a good enough mechanism to rotate themes.

One could do a design showing the progression from the Alto to the Macintosh, as a general "anniversary of the GUI" theme.
