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!

VCF West 2024 Exhibitors!
Hello folks,
We’re less than a month away from shutting down exhibit and speaker registrations for VCF West.
The July 4th weekend represents the end of both so I can use the rest of July to get the program built, get the floorplan finalized, create schedules, etc.
So if you’ve been waiting to get your exhibit or talk registered, wait no more! We still have room for both, but I can’t promise that will last all the way until July!
This year’s show is already shaping up to be a great one so you don’t want to miss it!
As always, details are at https://vcfed.org/events/
Attendee ticketing information and pre-orders will be posted soon.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns or -especially- if you would like to volunteer to help with the show, please let me know at this email address.
Thank you!

VCF West 2024
VCF East is in the books! Congratulations to everyone involved in this great event!
With that show put to bed, it’s time for us to turn our attention to the next big show, 3,000 miles to the West.
There will be a few notable changes to VCF West this year, including the following:
First, like last year, we’re still a Friday and Saturday show, with load in on Thursday.
This year we are partnering with the Computer History Museum to put on the show, so there will be some new opportunities opened up for everyone.
Primarily, there is now only one admission charge for the event, managed by the CHM front desk. We will be setting up ticket pre-sales and our VC Federation member discounts in the coming weeks. This admission will be for both VCF West and the Museum attractions so VCF attendees will be able to tour Revolution, Make Software and the like and Museum attendees will have full access to VCF Exhibits, Speakers, Consignment and the rest of the show.
Beyond that, we will be able to use more of the Museum. Once we have an idea as to what our exhibits will look like I will try to place some select exhibits in one or more of the downstairs spaces to highlight the show and to encourage visitors to spend time in the rest.
On that note, exhibit registration is now open for VCF West. We were just about at capacity last year so please bear in mind that I might have to limit tables and or exhibits this year. Maybe. Get your applications in early just to be sure!
We will also be hosting a Friday night meet and greet in the CHM Courtyard and in other parts of the open space downstairs. There will be food and drinks for purchase and an opportunity for everyone to relax after the first day of VCF while getting to know each other or just catching up.
The rest of the event will be as we know and love. Exhibits, speakers, consignment and tons of vintage fun!
We’re still signing up speakers, classroom instructors and volunteers. If you are interested please contact me! If you already have then hopefully I have gotten back to you. I am a bit behind, but feel free to remind me.
