The Vintage Computing Festival Berlin (VCFB) is an event about historic computers and computing technology. In exhibitions, presentations and workshops, participants from all over Germany and beyond present many different aspects of Vintage Computing. In addition to retro computers, also historical operating systems, programming languages, network technology as well as pocket and mechanic calculators will be shown. Most of the exhibited devices are in working condition. Since 2014, the donation-financed VCFB has been organised annually by volunteers, backed by the non-profit association VCFB e.V.
The VCFB will take place on the Wilhelminenhof campus of the University of Applied Sciences Berlin (HTW Berlin). Exhibition build-up begins on Friday, October 18th, and the event is open for visitors on Saturday and Sunday, October 19th and 20th.
