Onsite Vendors (Saturday and Sunday)

Retro Rewind: Commodore repairs, component sales, and our generous sponsor.
Justus Jurica: representing World of Retro Computing
Dave Bradley: – Drop by the table of YouTube’s 8-Bit Commodore Man to see what’s for sale !
Jeff Brace: from Vintage Computer Federation (VCF East).

Onsite Exhibitors (Saturday and Sunday)

In addition to a great selection of vendors, World of Commodore also features many terrific exhibitors in attendance. You’ll see a wide variety of vintage Commodore computers – PET, VIC-20, Commodore 64, Plus/4, Commodore 16, Commodore 128, Amiga, etc. Be sure to check out the various peripherals and accessories that extend the capabilities of the base computer – some are old classics and some are new innovations, but they’re all fascinating to see. Also on display is a plethora of interesting software being run on these machines, such as games, audiovisual demos, and new programming projects.

The Commodore community is extremely open-minded, so you’ll see more than just the traditional Commodore computers on the show floor. Expect to see mini-console versions of Commodore computers, vintage computers from other manufacturers, new retro-style computers, and retro-enabling technologies such as FPGA.

When you stop by a table to marvel at a computer display, don’t be shy about striking up a conversation with the exhibitor. They’re friendly, full of knowledge, and can answer any questions you have about the computer hardware and software being shown!

Exhibitors and Vendors

Exhibitors

If you’re displaying vintage computers or things related to them, you pay no charge for the use of a table and are only required to pay regular admission – see Admission section above. Please email [email protected] to reserve your exhibitor’s table.

Vendors are those who are selling hardware, software or anything related to vintage computing. Vendors pay $50 per table, which allows the use of the table for both days of the expo – Saturday and Sunday. Each table provides one free admission for the single vendor individual. Assistants accompanying a vendor are required to pay regular admission, unless the vendor purchases the use of multiple tables. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
