KansasFest

KansasFest

KansasFest (also known as KFest) is an annual event for Apple II computer enthusiasts. KansasFest typically lasts five days, and features presentations from Apple II experts and pioneers, as well as games, fun events, after-hours hallway chatter, late-night (or all-night) runs out to movies or restaurants, and more.

Resource Central founded the long-running KFest conference and expo. Originally called the A2-Central Summer Conference and immediately dubbed "KansasFest" by attendees (combining the name of the other major Apple II event of the time, the AppleFest expo, with Resource Central's location in suburban Kansas City), KFest is still held annually. Resource Central went out of business in the early 1990s.

Many of the most exciting new products for Apple II computers are announced at KansasFest each year. Past years have seen the introduction of the LANceGS Ethernet Card, the Marinetti TCP/IP stack, and similar major announcements.
