What:

Speakers — Come hear first-hand accounts of events in computer history and informative technical presentations.  We have again attracted some very interesting speakers this year!

Check the Speakers link above more details.

Exhibits (and exhibit registration) — Exhibits are presented Friday, Saturday and Sunday.   You’ll find computers from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.  From PDPs to Commodores to Apples… Exhibits vary from pristine original machines, to painstakingly restored machines and others focus on unique modern hacks.  You’ll find a wide variety of things to look at, touch and some to play with.

NOTE:  We still have a total limit on tables — we will have to confirm on any registration of more than 2 tables.   Also we’re giving registration preference to those to pre-pay for tables.   Contact our site contact listed below to pre-pay.

Hands On Activities  — We offer a chance to let your inner engineer out, even if it’s for the first time!  We will continue to give you a chance to purchase and solder your own electronic device.   We have kits available for purchase (we have helpers and everyone should be able to participate, from complete beginner to those already handy with a soldering iron).

Consignment — We offer a consignment area as part of our show.   We’ll try our best to sell your vintage computer related  items. Details are on the Consignment link.  Please  remember this isn’t a flea market.

Vendors — We invite folks who might have items that would be of interest to our audience to exhibit at our show as well.    Register using the exhibits link.  Vendors are listed on Exhibits page.

Concessions — We offer a concession area where you can get various item for sale, including Festival T-Shirts (and some from previous years) along with some other computer related items.  Click the link for a more detailed list.

For whom:

Everyone! Computer geeks, families/children, STEM students, students, collectors, IT professionals, curious onlookers…

 

We continue to be co-located with the Southern Fried Gaming Expo (who are sponsoring our space!). It’s a new room this year, so please ask at registration if you can’t find it.
The Southern-Fried Gaming Expo features more than 300 arcade, pinball and console machines, tabletop, RPG, wrestling, music, tournaments, a vendor expo, exciting programs and guest speakers, and so much more.  This will allow folks to enjoy two shows at the same time with LOTS of activities!!
