VCF East 2022 Dates: April 29, 30, May 1
So the dates for VCF East 2022 will be April 29, 30, May 1. We are returning to our usual time of the year for the show. I'm planning on always doing the show the last weekend of April, unless there is a major reason that we can't (NJ Marathon that same weekend which causes all the hotels in the area to be booked up). My reasoning is that May is a busy month with holidays and events. April has Easter, Passover, Palm Sunday always changing their dates, so the last weekend of April will never conflict with these holidays. Also we want to give us the best shot at "better" weather. Also May starts the summer shore season and the hotel rates go up and availability goes down. Since VCF East 2021 will be 6 months before VCF East 2022, I am reserving the date and doing some pre-planning for that date. After East 2021 is done, then I will have to right away start planning for East 2022. So I will be doing what I can ahead of time. I'm brainstorming the theme for the 2022 show, and will announce it later. I know that there are some important anniversaries like the 40th of the C64 and others. I will try to get speakers around that, but the overall theme will be as generalized as possible. If anyone has any suggestions, then I'm open to them. ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey@vcfed.org

TRS-80 Model I and Apple ][ both released in 1977 (45th anniversary). Spacewar! in 1962 (60th anniversary). David Gesswein could demo Spacewar! on real PDP hardware, with other exhibitors showing ports on various hardware. Get Peter Samson or Steve Russell to fly in from California.
