VCF West 2025 – Save the Date!

While VCF East is underway, we’d like to formally announce that VCF West is back for 2025 and we’re planning a bigger, better, and more unique show than we ever have before!

 For starters, we’re partnering with the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club and AmiWest to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Amiga! Please see their announcement here: Amiga 30th Silicon Valley organizers There will be other special guests as well.

 All our other favorites will be back including tons of speakers, consignment, exhibits galore and our Friday Night Social.

In addition to the guests mentioned above we will also be offering a limited number of vendor tables for certain specific types of sales at the event.

 Due to the expanded event, exhibit space will be limited so we are going to be selective and some of the larger exhibits may be asked to scale back to make room for others.

There is still room for talks so if you’re interested or know someone who is, please let us know!

We are also now offering sponsorships for the Vintage Computer Federation. This is an exciting opportunity to partner with the shows and to get access to other sponsorship perks!

 The Venue hasn’t changed. We’re still at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California on the first weekend in August. This year the dates are Friday August 1st and Saturday August 2nd.

 Lastly, we need YOUR help, and would like to get some information to help make VCF West the best it can be. So if you have the time, please help us out and complete this quick, 5 minute survey, especially the hotel questions, so we can size and plan the event to maximize the retro goodness: https://forms.gle/R1kSCsVqEyZfgQ4Q8

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

VCF West Deadlines!

A quick reminder that VCF West is August 2nd and 3rd at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

In order to get everything organized before the event we have to shut down exhibit registration and speaker signups by the July 4th weekend. This year that means that the last day to sign up to exhibit or to volunteer to speak is July 7th!

Speaking of volunteers, we’re always looking for a few more. So if you have time, energy and, maybe, muscle to spare for us, shoot me a note!
