welcome to VCFSW 2024
Following an exceptional return in 2023 we're back in 2024 and it's going to be even bigger and better!
We have a few themes for this year's show.
-
Computer Music
-
Restoration and Stabilization
-
Dell Turns 40
Our exhibit space has grown nearly 50% and speaker sessions are moving to larger presentation halls to ensure everyone can have a seat.
We have also partnered with some groups for "Shows-within-a-Show" expanding the reach of VCF!
what to expect
There's a variety of things to explore at VCF Southwest to keep you busy all weekend!

shows-within-the-show
We've partnered with a few groups to bring their shows into VCF Southwest!
MDCon
We were contacted by a group of Sony MiniDisc (MD) enthusiasts to bring the first MDCon to VCF Southwest. They will have a variety of exhibits including MD Players for attendees to try as well as sessions discussing the history and preservation of the format.
Tandy Assembly
We’ve also partnered with Tandy Assembly to bring a Tandy Assembly Meetup to Dallas, which is perfect, since it is the former home of Tandy / RadioShack.
