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.

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.
