     In August, in Montreal, the third annual Amiga Convention will take
 place!  This convention will gather the Amiga community together from all
 across the world to show its support for the Amiga!  We hope to make this
 show the first event in the long fight to make the Amiga a well known
 computer in North America again.  


 WHY:  We are putting on the Amiga Convention '95 (AC 95) to support our
       favorite computer, the Amiga!  We feel that for too long, the Amiga
       has been ignored, and now that the Amiga is owned by people who
       actually will support it well, we want to help them out in any way
       we can.  We also want to get a lot of people together to have a
       really cool time!

 COST FOR RENTING TABLES : $100 - 1 day,  $150 - 2 days, for one table of 
                           6' by 3' and chairs.  
                           You may do whatever you want to at the rented
                           tables.  These tables are aimed towards dealers
                           and developers.
                           
 FREE TABLES:  We will also have free tables at AC'95, for anyone who
               wishes to bring their Amiga, whether to show off something
               cool, or just to help someone else who might need one at the
               time.  However, at the free tables you get less space than
               the pay tables, it is first-come first-serve, and you cannot
               sell products at the tables!  That is strictly for the
               rented tables.

 ACCESABILITY:  The show is easily accesable by bus and train, as well as
                having lots of parking space in the vicinity for cars.

 WHY DEALERS SHOULD COME:  At AC'95, we offer tables at an incredibly cheap
                           price, a price which includes electrical
                           outlets.  You also get the chance to show and
                           sell your wares to a crowd of Amiga owners, all
                           of whom have money to spend and are influenced
                           by how big a prescence you have at the show.

 WHY PEOPLE SHOULD COME:   AC'95 will have stands from many major dealers
                           and developers.  It will also have a lot of
                           friendly Amiga owners there, plus a booming
                           sound system and TV setup that will show crazy
                           demos and products.  It will be a wild good time
                           for all!
