VCF East XII will be held March 31 through April 2 at the InfoAge center in Wall Township.

The event is produced by Vintage Computer Federation, which is a national user group (and 501c3 non-profit) for hobbyists/collectors.

The first day (Friday) features tech classes in historic computer restoration and a lunchtime keynote about Enigma machines.

Saturday/Sunday feature morning keynotes (Sat: Bjarne Stroustrup, inventor of C++ and Sun: panel discussion on the 40th anniversary of appliance computers). After the keynotes, we'll open the doors to two exhibit halls with 40 hands-on exhibits featuring everything from DEC minicomputers to Altairs to more common things like Commodores. There's also a consignment sale (the event is NOT a flea/swap) and tours of our year-round computer museum on campus.
