Of course If I were living nearby or not too far I'll come but it isn't the case. These conferences should be shared with all developers or wannabe developers so they can learn. What we miss the most are developers so it should be in an ideal world recorded and shared.

AmiWest Welcomes everyone from everywhere!

People come England, Canada, New Zealand...

Folks even come from New York, Utah, Los Angeles...(grin)

So don't let your POV keep you from being there!

How far away are you?

The idea of a show like AmiWest is to have folks come and visit.

We would like very much to figure out why you won't. If it something we can fix, we will!

I says...Just for now...

Until he's sure he can make it (I think he has commitment issues) to AmiWest2016!

(big grin)

I wish we could make it totally free for everyone to just come and enjoy!
I can't tell you how sorry I am that travel and lodging cost money.
Money and time and travel and distance...It's the bane of the show...

@SACC-guy and theprez

Thanks!  The deal is that my sister's wedding is in August and I have to drive to Minnesota for that and don't know how much gas money I'll have left afterwards.  Oddly, getting time off of work for both occasions was no problem.  If I can make it I certainly will.
No worries!
Let us know as soon as you know.

We would really enjoy your presentation of the vampire!!! ( I have my 500 waiting)

Hi all!

AMIWEST 2016 HOTEL RESERVATIONS

Reserve using this procedure:

RESERVE BY PHONE:

Reserve by phone at 916-923-1100.  Then email immediately to info@amiwest.net
with "Hotel reservation" in the subject line so I can add you to the list.
Please give your actual name in the email body (i.e., instead of your "handle.")

RESERVE ONLINE
 
If reserving online and the "ami" (no quotes) group code doesn't function, leave a message in the Special Requests box like this:

"Reserving for under the negotiated AmiWest 2016 group rate of
<$92/night, 2 queen beds> <$113/night, suite>."  Edit within the brackets to
suit.

Print the reservation to bring to the show to give a date, a time and the rate documented.
 Then email immediately to info@amiwest.net with "Hotel reservation" in the subject line
so I can add you to the list.  Please give your actual name in the email body (i.e., instead of your "handle.")

Some have made the group code work and have reserved online without
issue.  Unfortunately, the IHG (International Hotels Group) server is
inconsistent in its implementation.  We have a written contract for these
rates and so we can, with a dated and timed reservation, activate them for
our participants.  

Feel free to post this so others can reserve as well.  Please do
this TODAY (the rates have been posted since July 18) so we can see if we
need to add rooms to the block.  These rates expire on September 12.

AmiWest is a meeting of Amigans from many world areas. We have heard that we will have visitors for 2016 from Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., Canada, and perhaps Belgium and Germany, in addition to our U.S. guests. Everyone comes together to share knowledge, progress and memories.

And we all have a great time in the process! One of our first-time guests said a few years ago, "You guys throw a great party!" While we don't intend to do that, it does happen along the way. Some of the world's most creative people attend to add to the fund of Amiga® knowledge.

Make your plans now to come and take part! Yes, for many it is a long and expensive trip. That's true of any physical gathering anywhere - people do have to travel to get here. And if you come, we can pass along what is shared here. That happens best in person. We look forward to greeting you at this year's gathering, the 19th consecutive AmiWest show.

AmiWest 2016 and associated events will be October 6-9, 2016 at the Holiday Inn Express, 2224 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento, CA. Make your plans to attend now. If you've attended before, bring one other person who is new to the show. If this will be your first time, welcome to the show! See our website at amiwest.net for the latest information and watch this blog for breaking news about the show. See you in October!

A new accelerator for Amiga 500. You won't want to miss this exhibit! See their site for more information.

After settling some logistics issues, Sam Crow will represent the company. Sam was with us in 2012 in another capacity. We welcome him back to the show and really look forward to seeing this latest product work wonders for an A500.

But you can't see it run if you don't come. Make your plans now - we're getting closer every day.

I can help with booting and installing the new ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 live DVD on your X1000 at the AmiWest. I will bring a DVD to the show.

I look forward to learning more about linux on the amiga ppc next gen

Since it is in my neck of the woods, I have no excuses and will show up for at least one of the days. If you haven't attended before then I can assure you it's worth the travel.

Hopefully there will be some actual Amigas there for sale this go around. Would be nice to snag an AGA machine...
The SACC table always has Amiga and Amiga items for sale...
It's our main fund-raiser (hint)

I know for a fact at least two 4000Ds will be up for sale... maybe even a A1-G4?

Price is right in the eye of the...everyone?

I know I sold my extra 4000D motherboard to our great "Chuck" for $20.

BTW, this is SACC not one of the bays...We never sell anything for those amounts...

If you're a member and contribute to the cause, it might be very cheap (grin)
