Final Images from VCF Southwest 2025

Protoweb

Protoweb is a service to bring the modern internet to vintage computers.

Pen Plotters

Two exhibitors demonstrated pen plotters connected to era-appropriate hardware showing how engineers used to create high-quality computer-aided drawings. [Sergiu] also demonstrated what a pen plotter could do on modern hardware by offering portraits to anyone willing to wait for it to draw.

Vendors

A wide variety of vendors were more than willing to make a deal to help guests fill out their collections.

Guests & Exhibitors

The show was a tremendous success with a total of around 1800 guests, exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, and volunteers in attendance — more than double the first show in 2023.

Planning has already begun for VCF Southwest 2026 with a new, larger venue. Next year will be bigger and better than ever!

Mistigram: @thegreenherring took 1st place with this cosmic ark #ANSIart promo for #Protoweb at the graphics compo at last year's Field-FX @ WHY demoparty, and it was also just included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.
