Vintage Computing Festival MidWest (VCFMW) in 3 months!

[Joey Z]

Hi everyone, this is just kind of a public service announcement to remind those of you who know, and to inform those of you who don't already.

 

The annual Vintage Computing Festival MidWest (VCFMW) which has also combined with ECCC (Emergency Chicagoland Commodore Convention) is happening in a little under 3 months.

 

Description:

 

The tenth edition of VCF Midwest will take place this fall west of Chicago in Elk Grove Village, IL! Join us in conjunction with Fall Commodore Expo/ECCC as we once again coax vintage electrons into motion! (Visit ECCC's Facebook page here.)

In addition to exhibitions of eclectic electronica, we will feature speakers, vendors and more! Admission is FREE to all whether you come to show, look, build, talk or sell.

 

location: Holiday Inn Elk Grove Village, 1000 Busse Rd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

there is a block discount for the hotel room rate, group code CCC. room rate should be around $84/night I am told. The website for the hotel doesn't seem to be working well with the group rate code, so you might have to call to get the group rate.

 

Date and Time: August 29 and 30, 2015. The show will run from 8:00 AM on Saturday on into the night, coming to a temporary close at 11:00 PM and reopening at 10:00 AM Sunday morning. We'll wrap up by 4:00 PM. Early setup will be available on Friday evening, after which time the exhibition area will be locked until the show opens on Saturday morning.
