VCF SW (Dallas, TX): https://www.vcfsw.org/
The VCF SWAP Meet is On! in Wall, NJ June 7, 2025.
So the negotiations with the weather gods have been successful!
The latest weather forecast shows a 57% chance of rain around 8AM and thunderstorms 5PM or later.
So with this, I’m going ahead with the swap meet as planned.
Everyone is encouraged to use their best judgment as to their safety in coming to the event.
My highest recommendation is to bring a tent that can be anchored with sandbags. Generally a good idea regardless of rain.
Also bring waterproof clothing (i.e. raincoats, etc.)
If any vendor should feel uncomfortable and needs to cancel, we will refund you, but once you show up, there is no refund.
Vendor setup is 7AM
General Admission is 8AM

We’re thrilled to announce the theme for next year’s Vintage Computer Festival East 2026!
In 2026, we’ll explore the pivotal era when computing took a bold step out of labs and into homes, classrooms, and small businesses. This theme celebrates the early days of personal computing—the period when powerful machines became accessible, affordable, and, most importantly, personal.
It’s the story of how we got from the blinking lights of hobbyist kits to the sleek machines that reshaped everyday life. We’ll shine a spotlight on the computers, people, ideas, and companies that ignited a digital revolution .
From the Altair 8800, Apple I, and Commodore PET to the TRS-80, IBM PC, and Macintosh, this theme gives us room to showcase the innovation and competition that defined the era.
We invite exhibitors, presenters, and tinkerers to interpret the theme broadly. Some ideas to spark your creativity:
Whether your passion is hardware, software, design, or storytelling—there’s a place for your vision under this theme.
We’re looking for talks and sessions that explore:
Join us as we celebrate the origins of the digital age and the brilliant machines that brought computing power into the hands of individuals.
🧠Because before we were online… we were booting from floppy disks.
See you there!
