NEWS RELEASE: THE TORONTO ATARI FEDERATION PRESENTS.....ACE '95!!
*******************************************************
There have been a few events that captured the imagination of
Atari Users over the years. One of the most significant of those
events was ATARI CANADIAN EXHIBITION '92 - better known as ACE '92.
Memories are long - especially about great successes!
ACE '92 was all of that and more. It provided unprecedented
opportunities for an enormous number of DEALERS, DEVELOPERS,
SHAREWARE authors and (most important of all!) ATARI USERS, to
gather in a venue which was bright, extremely busy, accessible
and interesting. ACE '92 was well organized, highly successful
and a profitable experience for everyone who participated.
We're doing it again!
ACE '95 IS COMING: ** April 1, 1995 - April 2, 1995 **
We have booked the North York Civic Centre, MEMORIAL HALL
facility - 5,000 square feet in four rooms! The superb Civic
Centre Complex features excellent highway access, high speed
local route access as well as airport, bus, subway, car and truck
access. In the main complex itself you'll find the NOVOTEL HOTEL,
Civic Center SHOPPING MALL & an excellent FOOD COURT immediately
adjacent to the Show Hall in addition to other RESTAURANTS and
SERVICES. We're also located on Toronto's famous Yonge Street!
The location features high traffic volume & a site central to
several thousand Atari users from Toronto, Southern & Eastern
Ontario, Quebec, Western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio & Michigan!
The Main Auditorium (The Burgundy Room) is 2400 square feet
of show/display floor, with a full sound system, proscenium
stage, projection facilities, three entrances/exits, medium
height ceiling (very intimate!), loads of electricity and direct
access to the main foyer. The facility entrance is integrated
with the Main Concourse traffic areas and prominently features a
Canopied Main Entrance. The second hall (The Gold Room), is a
1,500 square foot room with direct access to the main foyer as
well. The Gold Room has ample power, projection facilities,
medium ceiling height and two entrances. The two smaller
conference rooms are being slated for continuous LECTURES, DEMOS
& WORKSHOPS throughout the weekend. The conference rooms also
feature large picture windows, which provide loads of natural
light (these are the same rooms which TAF uses for its regular
teaching seminars!). We even have a dedicated MIDI room! The
music people can *really* turn it up, without disturbing anybody!
Show hours will be from 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturday April 1/95 and
9 AM to 5 PM Sunday April 2/95.
Every EXHIBITOR who attends will be supported by a large
group of enthusiastic TAF VOLUNTEERS: for directions, support,
banking, show liaison, etc. Transportation for Registered
Exhibitors from the airport (Pearson International), will be
provided free of charge (you must book this service in advance).
