Amiwest is the premier Amiga-focused show in North America. Amiwest has provided a haven for like-minded individuals to come and celebrate all things in the Amiverse: Commodore Amiga's, Emulation, Aros, AmigaOS 4, and MorphOS . The show has become a yearly event in the community, with many new product announcements and introductions expected. Over the years, the show has seen Amiga companies come and go. Our goal has to be to create an environment for the community to come together and share ideas and AAA good times through it all.

Although these days a bit more minimalist, focusing on the values of Community and the awesome people in it. Arranging shows like 'AmiGBG' and events with 'Syntax Society' whenever life permits. In 2012 he teamed up with the amazing hardware engineer MrA. They became instant friends and through Enterlogic - 'From Sweden with Love'; they offer mainly DIY projects like 'Easy Amy' (OCS), 'Denise' (ECS) and the upcoming 'Alicia 1200' (AGA) Mini-ITX boards.

Charles Hofer
Charles Hofer
I am an Amiga-a-holic! My affliction, addiction, passion all started in 1988 when I told a friend of mine who was living in the UK for a while that I was ready to plunk down $2500 on a 386 EGA PC. He told me to check out an Amiga first! I walked into a Commodore store and I saw Maxine Headroom and the Newtek demo. I had to ask the guy there if that was a tape playing. I purchased an Amiga 2000HD. In 1994 the same friend found me a used A4000D loaded and that has now grown into a collection of fifteen Amigas. I have one of the highest Cisco Certification, the CCIE attained in 2009. I am a Network Architect where I design, modify, and merge networks for fortune 500 companies. I started CH Technologies, LLC as my primary business as a Network Architect and VMs. When people ask me what do you do? I say, "I build highways for the Internet but I also know how to build cars (PCs) to run on it."
