Vintage Computer Festival
- Vintage Computer Festival
The Vintage Computer Festival (VCF) is an international event celebrating the history of computing. It is held annually in Mountain View, California, inside the Hahn Auditorium of the Computer History Museum. It was founded by Sellam Ismail in 1997.
The last VCF, number 10.0, was held in November of 2007.
The Vintage Computer Festival promotes the preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering people a chance to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable tale of the computer revolution. It is consequently one of the premiere physical markets for antique computer hardware.
Though the first event was small and took place only in Silicon Valley, annual VCFs are now also held in the Eastern US, the Midwest US, Germany and Italy.
