Vintage Computer Festival Midwest
Background
The Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is (as of this writing in 2025) the world's largest exhibition of vintage or classic computing hardware. It is a celebration of the computer (as well as the odd telephone) each of us grew up with, coveted from afar or merely discovered and developed a passion for just last week. It was founded at Purdue University in 2005 and is currently organized by the Chicago Classic Computing non-profit organization. More info can be found at the show website.
