---------------------------------------------------------------
In August, in Montreal, the fourth 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 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.

These tables are aimed towards
dealers and developers.
FREE TABLES: We will also have free tables at AC'96, 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 subway,
as well as having lots of parking space in the
vicinity for cars.
WHY DEALERS SHOULD COME: At AC'96, we offer tables at an
incredibly rate, a price which
includes electrical outlets and
electricity. 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'96 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!
