Amiga Convention '96

The Official Info Pack on the Amiga Convention '96

In August, in Montreal, the fourth annual Amiga Convention
will take place!  This convention will gather the Amiga
community together from all across the world to show its
support for the Amiga!  We hope to make this show an event
in the long fight to make the Amiga a well known computer
in North America again.


WHY: We are putting on the Amiga Convention '96 (AC 96) to
     support our favorite computer, the Amiga!  We feel
     that for too long, the Amiga has been ignored, and now
     that the Amiga is owned by people who actually will
     support it well, we want to help them out in any way
     we can.
     We also want to get a lot of people together to have
     a really cool time!


WHERE: The Howard Johnson Hotel in Montreal, large enough
       to hold over 1,000 people, not including the
       surrounding rooms.

COST FOR RENTING TABLES : $150 - 1 day,  $250 - 2 days,
                          for one table of 6' by 3' and
                          chairs.
                          These tables are aimed towards
                          dealers and developers.


FREE TABLES:  We will also have free tables at AC'96, for
              anyone who wishes to BRING THEIR AMIGA,
              whether to show off something cool, or just
              to help someone else who might need one at
              the time.
              However, at the free tables you get less
              space than the pay tables, it is first-come
              first-serve, and you cannot sell products at
              the tables!
              That is strictly for the rented tables.


ACCESABILITY:  The show is easily accesable by bus and
               subway, as well as having lots of parking
               space in the vicinity for cars.


WHY DEALERS SHOULD COME:  At AC'96, we offer tables at an
                          incredibly rate, a price which
                          includes electrical outlets and
                          electricity. You also get the
                          chance to show and sell your
                          wares to a crowd of Amiga owners,
                          all of whom have money to spend
                          and are influenced by how big a
                          prescence you have at the show.

WHY PEOPLE SHOULD COME:   AC'96 will have stands from many
                          major dealers and developers. It
                          will also have a lot of friendly
                          Amiga owners there, plus a
                          booming sound system and TV setup
                          that will show crazy demos and
                          products. It will be a wild good
                          time for all!
