Hmm, that's 3 votes for Zandvoort 1992 already. Interesting. Is it the fair that changed the course of our lives? ^_^

For me, it was Tilburg 2001. The personal contact I had that day with Nishi was overwhelming for me. Transporting him to the fair, the lecture itself, the days prior to the fair.....Just everything.....It blew me away.
I also have deep feelings for Tilburg 1992 (first fair where I had a shared booth with MSX Engine) and Tilburg 1994 (where we released Not Again!).....But.....Nops, it can't beat the Tilburg 2001-feeling 
I shouldn't forget Zandvoort 1991! Impact released Impaccen&Wegwezen and their first Musix disk..That was SO UTTERLY COOL I was at the height of my 'FUCK AMIGA' period and I enjoyed that MSX AUDIO music SOOOOOO much |

I enjoyed the MSX Tech fair, it was in Milton Keynes (UK) in 1986 (maybe 1987!) I met a lot of UK MSXers at that fair, there are no records of it on the net as far as i can find. It had no new hardware ideas, but I remember seeing my first MSX2 there.

djh - Could you estimate how many people visited MSX fairs in the UK at those times?

To me it's Tilburg 1993 as well... The first fair I visited. I was only 14 and everything was overwhelming... IIRC PA2 was released then, amongst many other products. So much MSX!

Maybe I'll ask the organiser, I am still in touch with one of them i think 300-500 people but that is an estimate. |

All Bussum fairs of course! ^_^
No, I guess it would be the fair where we, Datax (Alex, Edwin and I), released an issue of the Track magazine and Kenda with whom we cooperated also published their Music Maniac 2 music disk. And the Tilburg 2001 fair was indeed also pretty cool. I basically have fond memories of all fairs, from the ones which I visited with my dad up 'till the recent ones.

MSX fairs used to be THE annual days for me, days to which I was continuously looking forward. They were great happenings. Fairs are nice as well nowadays, but the old Tilburg and Zandvoort fairs were really something.

I don't know whether you've been in Oss sometime, but Oss is quite a cool place to be. I think it's the best fair of the year, nowadays!

Yes, that was a great thing to look forward to as well, especially when there was a possibility something concerning your own activities was published  |
