Howdy everyone,
This should answer anyone's questions about AtariFest. Anyone else can contact
John Barnes (JOHNBARNES@enh.nist.gov) for further info.
The Washington Area Atari Computer Enthusiasts will hold WAACE
AtariFest 1990 on October 6 and 7 1990. This event will be the premier
East Coast event for people who are interested in software and hardware
for Atari computers. The show will be staged at the Sheraton Reston
Hotel in Reston, VA. Show hours will be from 10 am to 7 pm on both days.
In addition to the shopping bargains available from over thirty vendors
there will be a full round of demonstrations, tutorials, and seminars. A
banquet on Saturday evening will feature a special speaker on Atari
matters and Current Notes Magazine's "Author of the Year" award. Special
mixers will cap off the evening's festivities. Approximately 3000
visitors from all over the USA, Canada, and other foreign countries
attended the 1989 edition of the show.
Admission charges are $5 for one day, with a 2-day pass available at
$7. A discount rate is available for ticket purchases by user groups.
Children under 12 will be admitted free.
The Sheraton Reston Hotel is a spacious, attractive facility located
in a parklike setting near Washington, DC. The hotel is offering a
special room rate of $59 per night plus tax to Fest goers who reserve by
August 6th. This hotel room rate includes 2-day passes to the show for
room occupants. Call 703-620-9000 for reservations. Be sure to mention
AtariFest '90. The number or rooms available at the special rate is
limited, so make your reservations now.
The price that WAACE will have to pay for tyhe exhibit space is
directly tied to the numkber of hotel rooms that are rented out by the
August 6th deadline. If you have have any expectation at all of
attending the event we would like you to rent a room for Friday and
Saturday nights.
The WAACE show has established itself as the premier Atari event for
East Coast Atari fans. Bob Brodie, Atari Corporation's goodwill
ambassador, has labelled the WAACE show as one of the two "must see"
events for Atarians held in the USA.
Revision Date: 11 July 1990
