Because of the specific audience that the Vintage Computer Festival is targeting, this is a prime venue for marketing old computers, peripherals, manuals and software that are sitting in closets and back rooms collecting dust. The venue is indoors with ample lighting and each vendor space features an electrical hook-up. Security personnel are present during the off-hours of the event to insure against theft of or damage to inventory items.

Each space at the Vintage Computer Festival Marketplace measures 10' x 10' and features an electrical outlet. Booth rental is $200 if paid by October 20, 2007, and $225 thereafter ($250 at the event). 8' tables are available for rent at an additional $10 each per day; chairs will be provided at no extra cost. Spaces are limited and are assigned on a first come, first served basis, so we suggest you make your reservations as far in advance as possible.
