the hotel booking code has just been posted over at the amiwest blog:

Quote
Hotel rates are final! After much internal negotiation, AmiWest 2017 hotel rates are now available for reservations. Please see the Reservations Page at this link for the link to the hotel website.

The rates are $95.00 US for a double room and $119.00 US for a suite. See the reservations page above for more information.

When reserving online, the reservation group code is AMI. Please enter this code in the group code box when reserving online.

If you have trouble with the group code, simply call the hotel front desk at 1-916-923-1100 and ask for Joseph. He is the front desk manager. He is familiar with our show and will make sure that you get the AmiWest rate.
i've already booked. i hope to see other amiga.org members at the show this year! :)

at the moment the show hotel is showing all rooms fully booked, and the amiwest room block is all reserved. the show organizers are working on getting this resolved, so if you haven't been able to book accommodations yet, stay tuned, i should have more news on this sometime tomorrow....

ok, so the good news is that there are so many people coming to amiwest, that we broke the hotel. just kidding. it looks like saturday night is heavily booked at the show hotel, but the show organizers have made arrangements at the hampton inn next door for folks who haven't yet made their hotel arrangements.

if you still need rooms for amiwest 2017 and are unable to book at the show hotel, here's what to do:

  • call the hampton inn next door. the number is +1 916 927-2222
  • ask for shiva or rayna, ask for the amiwest rate
  • if you have any problems contact brian at amiwest.net
the reservation page should be updated with this information shortly. in other news the amiga devcon is shaping up nicely, with presentations from steven solie of hyperion entertainment, hans de ruiter of A-EON technology, and jaime krueger of bitbybit software in plan. other developers are also planning on attending, such as mark ritter, author of workbench explorer. so if you're interested in the devcon, don't delay -- make your arrangements now!

terrific news from amiga on the lake this past week. apparently they'll be handing out 10%-off discounts for amiwest attendees -- so, for example, that's nearly $200 off the X5000 base system. and if you make your purchase during amiwest itself, you get another 7% discount for any additional purchases through the end of the month.

apparently amiga on the lake is continuing with their efforts to support amiga software development, and jaime kreuger will be talking about his joint projects with them at the show, too. and he'll dish on some sales information to give everyone an idea of how things are going at the only next-generation amiga dealer in the americas. yet another reason to join us in sunny sacramento later this month. i hope to see some of you there!

just wanted to update everyone on a few things.... the devcon has progressed nicely with several developers here. we've had the opportunity to play around with a bunch of stuff, including the source code to the original 'juggler' demo from the early days of the amiga launch (see here). jaime krueger, mark ritter, steve solie, hans de ruiter have been presenting, and there's plenty to come once the show starts tonight.

bill bosari, a.k.a, tekmage, is arriving later today, and should have a good streaming solution for those who have been unable to attend. and both A-EON and hyperion are presenting tomorrow morning with news, so be sure to tune in. steven solie has graciously offered to do a Q&A with amiga.org members after the show for those interested. we'll do that in a separate thread next week.

and lastly, a big thanks to goody and trevor for all of the booze so far. many a devcon attendee has had at least one headache since wednesday. well done! :)
