Exhibitors

If you’re displaying vintage computers or things related to them, you pay no charge for the use of a table and are only required to pay regular admission – see Admission section above. Please email info@tpug.ca to reserve your exhibitor’s table.

Vendors

Vendors are those who are selling hardware, software or anything related to vintage computing. Vendors pay $50 per table, which allows the use of the table for both days of the expo – Saturday and Sunday. Each table provides one free admission for the single vendor individual. Assistants accompanying a vendor are required to pay regular admission, unless the vendor purchases the use of multiple tables. Please email info@tpug.ca if you have any questions.
