AdamCon01 -- named as a joke (as if a computer that hadn't been made for 3 years could have a regular convention. Organized by Monte Niece it took place outside Orlando, FL. This first AdamCon had a banquet, a swap shop/store, and many interesting sessions run in parallel. | |
But MTAG out of Toronto Canada and LAUGH out of Hamilton took up the banner, and ran jointly AdamCon02, headed by chairman Ken Batcher. A tradition had begun. At this AdamCon the first games contest (using Adictus) was tried. Here there were 2 parallel sessions with the group divided into 20s which rotated between speakers. | |
The tradition became a regualar event when AdamCon03 was run by 463ADAM with chairman Dean Rhodes. This AdamCon was more free form with three parallel sessions which you'd have to choose between. | |
BASIC and Herman Mason and George Koczwara snatched AdamCon IV. This is the site of the first Programmer's Meeting where the EOS 7 project was started | |
The first AdamCon out West, AdamCon05 (run by vendor Alan Nealy, of Adam Link of Utah) marked the 10th anniversery of the Coleco Adam, celebrated by a spectacular fireworks display. | |
Back to Florida for AdamCon SIX where Bob Blair and SFLAUG introduced a theme "Hands on Learning". | |
In Canada again, AdamCon007 was "The Year to Bond", chaired by Dale Wick and sponsored by MTAG. This featured more hands on sessions including breaking topics like surfing the web, or using your harddisk | |
AdamCon VIII was back in the Cleveland area, where Herman Mason and George Koczwara chaired a more quiet AdamCon centered around small groups |
