VCF Europe

Our mission is to encourage the preservation of obsolete computer hard- and software, to promote interest in researching and documenting the history of the computer age ... and to have fun playing with old iron.

The Vintage Computer Festival is already a fixed entry in the Silicon Valley timetable. Now it will also become an European event, celebrating our computer heritage.

Let us return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when geeks were geeks and floppies were really floppy.

Detailed listing of Changes at the News page.

Exhibition

Dozens of old (but still not obsolete) computers to be viewed and touched. No barrier between you and your dreams.. (It may be a good idea to ask the exhibitor before dismanteling his unit :)

Speeches

A series of speeches will be given to describe some systems in detail, discuss classic developments from today's perspective or other topics of interest to collectors.

Flea Market

No system will be ever completely debugged, so we are offering part of the hall to vendors to sell and trade historic gear. Anything is possible - as long as the item is computer related and more than 10 years old.

Peoples Choice Award and Give Away

All visitors are called to vote for their favourite piece of history. And unlike a consitutional poll, you may even win great stuff.

Are you ready for the NERD TRIVIA CHALLENGE?

The Nerd Trivia Challange is your chance to prove just how much of a geek you really are. You're pitted against two other nerds in a game-show style contest of computer history trivia.
