Event Details

AmiWest 2025 Sacramento is now officially on the calendar, and fans of the Amiga computer have plenty to look forward to. This year’s show highlights the Amiga’s 40th anniversary with a strong emphasis on community. From hardware showcases to friendly competitions, the event continues its tradition as the longest-running Amiga show.

Dates and Location

AmiWest 2025 will take place at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sacramento NE Cal Expo, located at 2224 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento, California. The event runs across two weekends. Seminar Day happens on October 25, and the main show follows on October 26 and 27.

Attendees can expect a mix of in-person and online participation, keeping the event accessible for Amiga fans everywhere. By hosting both formats, the organizers ensure that anyone interested can connect with the community.

Free Admission

One of the hallmarks of AmiWest is its open invitation. Admission is free for all visitors, lowering the barrier for both newcomers and returning guests. Attendees are welcome to simply walk in and join the celebration. While no ticket is required, the show does appreciate voluntary donations. Contributions go toward covering operational expenses, which helps maintain the tradition of hosting this annual gathering.

Expanded Show Floor

The AmiWest team has announced an expanded show floor for 2025. This change allows for more space to display machines, products, and community projects. Visitors will see everything from original Commodore systems to modern setups featuring ARM accelerators and next-generation Amiga-inspired platforms. With a larger area, exhibitors can share their work more effectively, and attendees will enjoy a broader variety of displays.

Exhibits and Activities

The exhibits remain the core attraction of AmiWest. Expect to see classic Amiga computers running alongside modernized builds. Collectors and developers will showcase both preserved and newly created hardware, providing an excellent opportunity to experience the Amiga’s legacy and ongoing evolution.

The event will also feature its traditional games competition. These contests bring energy and friendly rivalry to the weekend, drawing in both casual players and seasoned veterans. The competition stands as a crowd favorite each year, and AmiWest 2025 promises to keep that tradition alive.

Organizers have hinted at a few surprises, with details to be revealed closer to the show. Attendees can stay tuned for announcements on special guests, sponsors, and exhibitors by following the official AmiWest website or joining the mailing list.

The October 25 Seminar Day is dedicated to technical sessions, tutorials, and focused discussions. This portion of the event caters to those who want a deeper look into Amiga software and hardware. It provides a structured opportunity to learn from developers and enthusiasts who remain active in pushing the platform forward. Whether attendees are curious about programming, hardware design, or system upgrades, Seminar Day offers an engaging entry point.
