Exhibit registration is open for VCF Southeast

A note from our friends at the Atlanta Historical Computing Society about Vintage Computer Festival Southeast 7.0: exhibit registration is open! The show will be Saturday, April 27, 2019, 10AM-7PM, and Sunday, April 28, 2019, 12PM-5PM.

This year’s focus is on the 50th anniversary of Unix and 40th anniversary of the Atari personal computer (and the TI-99/4). More space is expected to be available than last year, so visitors should expect to see more than 30 exhibits. The event takes place at the currently under-construction Computer Museum of America in Roswell, Georgia.

Visitors will be able to view the museum’s artifacts and construction in progress through viewing panels. You may be able to explore part of the museum, depending on the status of construction.

Announcements about keynote speakers are coming soon.

Vintage Computer Festival Southeast 6.0 — even more!

We’ve also revealed our shirt design for VCF SE 6.0! (we will make them available to folks who are unable to attend, please contact Earl Baugh for more info)….

To get a flavor of what you might see…

Admission is now FREE at VCF Southeast 6.0!

A pleasant change has come to the VCF SE 6.0 event — ADMISSION IS FREE!

The show is opening April 21st… so in just a few days!

The event is taking place at the currently under construction Computer Museum of America in Roswell, Georgia.

Visitors will be able to view the museum’s artifacts and construction in progress through viewing panels but due to the ongoing construction will sadly not be able to tour the new exhibit area. You will be among the first to see architectural plans, a 3D model and exhibit design drawings of the museum.

Also don’t forget the VCF SE 6.0 Show itself!

Learn about the development of the Commodore VIC-20 (the first computer to sell 1 million units) and the creation of our favorite text-based adventure games with our two keynotes speakers: Michael Tomczyk and Scott Adams!

We have 32+ exhibits so far. A highlight will be to come see two kickstarter backed replica projects: the Open Enigma and Open DSKY (Apollo Guidance Computer). The creators of these kits will be present at the show. If you get inspired, you will be able to pick up a kit as they will have some on hand.
