Dave, I hope you don't mind me copying this reply to ClassicCmp as I think
it may interest others as well.

The web page has registration information now (see URL below), so if you
go there you can get all the details. But basically, if you register now
you pay $15 for full admission to both days and save $5. Otherwise its
$10/day.
The exhibition will consist of numerous private individuals and various
user groups exhibiting their collections. There will be no overlapping,
and everyone who is exhibiting is being selected for their particular
genre. There will be Doug Salot and Roger Sinasohn doing a portables
exhibit, Paul Zurikowski from the local Mac user group doing a complete
Mac exhibit, Jordan Ruderman will be doing a Sol-20 exhibit, Larry
Anderson will be doing a Commodore exhibit, I'm working with a guy who
wants to do a PDP-8 exhibit, etc. I'm still looking for more exhibitors
so if anyone is interested contact me.
There will also be various museums making a presence, although they won't
all be exhibiting. I'm currently working with The Computer Museum History
Center to bring some of their artifacts to exhibit (I'm also working on
scheduling tours to the History Center from VCF so out-of-town guests get
a chance to see their amazing collection); David Hale, who is in the
process of assembling a museum in Pennsylvania that will follow the
progress of computers in different fields of technology will be driving
out and bringing some computers with him to exhibit and some to sell (he
was going to come to VCF 1.0 but got stuck in a big snow storm in Chicago;
he also got a very rare kit computer from the 60s that he was
bringing to VCF stolen while he was snowbound in the airport...long
story); and finally I've invited David Weil, the curator of the
Computer Museum of America in San Diego, to come up and setup a booth.
So there will be at least a couple museums having a presence at VCF. I
hope to get more, and I hope the VCF eventually becomes an event where
computer museums from around the world gather once a year to share
information and strategies.
If you have anymore questions please ask!
