No Amiwest this year?
« on: February 05, 2004, 03:34:44 PM »
It's Feb and Amiwest isn't announced yet. If I were to go this year I'd need to know soon :-(  I emailed the contacts from the website, but no response.

Which city is AmiWest in?  I might take a trip over to the states.

SACC is currently searching for a new location, the Holiday Inn hiked the rates way beyond affordability for the size of the show read: booth rates would have meant very low turnout and higher ticket prices...

Amiwest is annual event (since 1998) in the capital city of California....Sacramento.

Might *finally* be an interesting year with OS4 on the AmigaOne available and advances by Genesi on hardware front. I can't afford either but am still vaguely interested.

One wonders if Genesi will turn up this year? They put on a good showing for 2003 to a largely empty hall :-/

Dare I even speculate on AInc attendance? :D

I'm sure, however, we'll see the usual faces...too many to mention by name but 'tis always fun.

Be there or be.....somewhere....else? ;-)

I skipped the annual DJ convention in Vegas this year for a reason   :-D

Here's to hoping the hotel isn't too expensive and the beer isn't cheap   :pint:

Hmm. Well, I guess I should finally try and make it to AmiWest, especially since I live in Sacramento. :-/ It's much easier to find the time if you actually have to leave town to go to an event. You know?

Last year's Amiwest was the first Amiga show I ever went to, and I'm planning to go this year too.  I may even set up a table.  Glad to hear it is still on.  I hope you find a great place to hold it.

Just a reminder to the show guys if they're reading this that Amiga.org's policy allows for free banners for Amiga-related shows.

Funny, last year was my first Amiga(specific) show and I may have a booth:-) The show needs new blood, alot of the old timers moved on it seems..

I would love to, but it's very doubtful at this point in time.
