    Exhibits

    Please email if you are interested in exhibiting at VCF-MW and would like to be listed here. If you would like to exhibit something and don't care about being listed here, just show up and we'll find some space for you.

    * * * Early setup will be offered Friday the 23nd from 6 - 6:45 PM (Note updated time). The meeting room will be open during that time so that vendors and other exhibitors may, at their discretion, unload and begin setup before the event begins on Saturday. The room and building will be locked for the evening but the convention organizers offer no extra security or insurance against theft of items left in the building overnight--or at any time, for that matter! * * *

    Jason Timmons: ...will think of something.

    Mike Lee/geekmuseum.com: ...has more than you.

    James L. Mazurek: ...will be there.

    SWRAP Commodore Users Group: Commodore 16: The C16 was a home computer made by Commodore with a 6502-compatible 8501 CPU, released in 1984. It was intended to be an entry-level computer to replace the VIC-20 and it often sold for 99 USD.

    Jack Rubin: ...his stuff works, too.

    Suburban Chicago ATarians: A Selection of Atari 8-bit and ST computers

    Vendors

    Yes! There will be vendor areas in both the VCF and ECCC rooms. Feel free to bring your old (or new-retro) gear to sell or trade.

    Free area: while we certainly encourage gifting, donating and otherwise giving away unwanted materials, please do not treat our host hotel as a dumping ground! They do not like this at all and we would like to be invited back next year! Please be prepared to haul away everything you bring.
