Amiga 30th Anniversary Event
« on: July 25, 2014, 05:55:48 PM »
For Immediate Release:

On July 23rd, 1985, the world was introduced to the Amiga Computer.

A radical multimedia machine from a group of thinkers, tinkerers and visionaries which delivered affordable graphics, animation, music and multitasking interaction the personal computer world hadn't even dreamt of.

The computer for the creative mind.

That leap in personal computing unveiled things we've since come to take for granted from today's devices. The Amiga's arc went through entertaining users and inaugurating desktop video to eventually succumbing to Commodore's famous mismanagement and demise in the 90's.

In the decades since, an enthusiastic cadre of supporters, users and companies have carried on that spirit - continuing development AmigaOS and building new machines.


On the 30th anniversary, come join us for a celebration of the Amiga, its groundbreaking accomplishments and rich history at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

Additional details of the event will be unveiled in the coming months. If you are interested in attending, exhibiting or volunteering, please feel free to contact us via email at contact.at.amiga30.com or on our website.

Cheers,
The Amiga 30th Anniversary Team

Excellent!  I will move the Commodore Vega Expo v11 2015 to a different date so that it does not infringe on your event.

anyone know how big this events is going to be, ie will any original amiga hardware guys be there? will amiga viva shown there?

Been thinking about planning an America holiday next year and was seeing about maybe making possible to go at the same time as Amiwest been thats its the 30th year and all and attend that, but if this event is going to be a bigger deal then may adjust, it all depends on how good I can be with my money from now till after christmas if I can go at all yet, but hope we learn more before then.

Hey AmigaNG,

The organizing committee has one of the original developers.  More details will be released in the coming weeks.  In the mean time we are looking for volunteers to help at the event.  

As for the size of the event the Computer History Museum has international visibility and the Amiga name has a mythos in the Silicon Valley.  I'm confident that if we can get the funds together and the people to staff the event it will be one hell of a party.
