Amiga show: "Amiga 40" on October 18 and 19, 2025
As announced by the organizers at a1k.org (registration required, German), the next edition of “Amiga xx” will take place on 18 and 19 October 2025 at Kunstwerk - das rote Krokodil in Mönchengladbach-Wickrath, admission is from 10 a.m. each day. Some details about the event have already been communicated by the organizers:
- 2 levels: below the exhibitors, above the stage plus some additional tables - whereby the upper area is open and not a separate room
- Almost 120 tables are available
- Catering will be provided by the Kunstwerk, on-site payment for food and drinks will only be possible by card and not in cash. In exceptional cases, however, we will help at our cash desk in the entrance area
- Maximum number of visitors per day limited to just under 1000 people (for Amiga37 and Amiga38 there was a maximum of 850 people)
- Free parking spaces
- Shopping facilities in the vicinity
Ticket sales are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2025, as usual via the show's own ticket store. There will again be individual tickets for Saturday and Sunday, as well as discounted tickets for both days. In addition, around 20 user tables will again be offered for all those who want to present their Amigas and more non-commercially and contribute to the diversity of the event. There will also be some after-show tickets or all-in tickets and free tickets for all guests up to the age of 16. Exact prices are not yet known.
Registrations for commercial exhibitors will be possible from the end of the year - if you are interested, please send a message to info@amigaevent.de. A table for commercial exhibitors for both days will cost between 75,- Euro and 80,- Euro plus VAT.
Similar to the Amiga 38, a "Community Award" and an "Aftershow Party" - i.e. an evening event - are also planned, but there is no information on this yet.
The main sponsor will once again be A-Eon (Trevor Dickinson). It is hoped that further supporters from the commercial sector can be announced shortly. In addition, support is once again being sought in all areas: From sponsorship to support with planning and realization to on-site staffers - technicians for a "repair corner" are also being sought. Potential supporters are also asked to contact info@amigaevent.de.

Trevor's Blog: Another one bites the Dust!
Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology published a new article in his "Trevor's Blog" yesterday. In it he gives an outlook on the numerous Amiga events already announced for the coming year, but also looks back on this year's Amiga meetings.
He also announces a new batch of "A1222 Plus" boards. He wrote: "In other good news, with the A1222 Plus selling relatively well, A-EON and AAA Technology have commissioned another batch of motherboards. The deposit has been paid, and production is underway, with delivery expected in the early New Year."
