ALERT! CommVEx 2013 moving to Jockey Room 1 in Plaza Hotel

[RobertB]

Today, another new Plaza Hotel contact, Kelly, informed me that due to technical issues it would be best that we change from Ballroom 8 to Jockey Room 1.  I agreed, even though it is only 9 days to CommVEx.  Jockey Room 1, a room that we have used in past CommVExes,
is located at the bottom of the ramp to the third floor garage.  Advantages of Jockey Room 1 -- easier to move hardware into the room due to its proximity to the garage and more visibility for passers-by to see the room.  Disadvantage of Jockey Room 1 - a smaller room in comparison to Ballroom 8 or last year's Left Field Room at the sister hotel.

That being said, everything is still go for CommVEx.  New for this year -- not one but two AmigaOne X1000s will be on exhibit.  Also Retrogaming Radio will be hanging around and may broadcast from the show (if our wi-fi signal is strong enough).

The updates continue to come, and so, watch the website below or the forum at http://www.commodore.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 for the latest information.

Is there an entry fee...

It is $10, whether you attend one day or both days.

A price that hasn't changed since CommVEx v2,

...I'm a bit worried about headroom for the altitudinous attenders...

I'm not expecting the 6 foot, 5-inch tall members of the Astoria Commodore User Group to be attending.

Mistakenly, Steve's video from CommVEx *2012* was placed there instead of his new one from 2013. That has been corrected; now you can see his 2013 presentation at the above link.

More videos later this week,
