WHAT IS A VINTAGE COMPUTER FESTIVAL?
The Vintage Computer Festival (VCF) was created as a celebration of the history of computing. Originally founded by Sellam Ismail in 1997, it continues annually at locations across the U.S. and internationally.
The festivals are endorsed by the Vintage Computer Federation (VCFed.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving computing history through education, outreach, conservation, and restoration.
