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.
