I won't bury the lead. I'm sorry to report that due to the uncertainty of current pandemic conditions and to promote safety of our attendees, VCF East 2020 will not be a live show this year. I know that this will be a great disappointment to many. I had hoped that after 4 months conditions would have improved to the point that the show could be live. The expected limitations of being able to have only 25% capacity indoors makes the effort to organize a live show prohibitive. We considered the time, effort, money and safety to make a live show. But don't despair, we have plans for a virtual hybrid show. We can still make the show great despite being a virtual hybrid. VCF West, K-Fest and HOPE have shown that a fun show can still be created. What do I mean "virtual hybrid"? Our plan is to have a two day event where there will be a mixture of pre-recorded videos as well as live demonstrations of exhibits. Live attendance at InfoAge will be limited to exhibitors and show administrators. I see this event as an opportunity to show off exhibitors who normally wouldn't be able to make the show due to distance or circumstances . I will be sending out more details about our plans as we develop them. In the meantime, I will be contacting exhibitors, class instructors and speakers to start making videos to send to me. I'm hoping to make this show most excellent! -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member, VCF East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey@vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783
