Bring Your HP Calculator or Early Computer to Vintage Computer Festival Southwest - mrcity - 05-29-2023 05:14 AM

Greetings from Dallas, TX, USA,

I hereby wish to invite you to the VCFSW (Vintage Computer Festival Southwest) event. It's happening on June 23-25 at UTD (the University of Texas in Dallas) at the Davidson Gundy Alumni Center. We have applications for speakers and exhibitors on our website https://www.vcfsw.org/ plus the ability to purchase general admission tickets.

As far as I know, no one has yet signed up to bring much of any HP systems at all, despite the proximity of our venue to various HP acquisitions such as Compaq in Houston, Tandem in Austin, EDS in Plano, or even Convex, which was literally right across the street from UTD (I worked in that building for the first 5 months I was with HP). As such, I would love to cultivate some interest here among those of you who would be willing to travel and exhibit something you are passionate about, or just to see what else is going on in the world of retro computing. (As for me, I'll be too busy with a walkie-talkie checking on people to also try to man an exhibitor table.)

It would be great to see you at our show soon! Again the website is https://www.vcfsw.org/ and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

- Stephen
