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!
