If you are a magazine, please feel free to put this in your magazine. All that we ask in return is that you e-mail or call us to tell us that you have put the information into the magazine. Also, if you would like to have an article written for your magazine after the convention about what happened at AC'95, please e-mail <zool@cyberwar.com>

In August, in Montreal, the third 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 the first 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 '95 (AC 95) 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!

FREE TABLES:

We will also have free tables at AC'95, 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 train, as well as having lots of parking space in the vicinity for cars.

WHY DEALERS SHOULD COME:

At AC'95, we offer tables at an incredibly cheap price, a price which includes electrical outlets. 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'95 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!
