From The Gateway Amiga Club:

The members of the Gateway Amiga Club, Inc. are sponsoring the third Gateway Computer Show in St. Louis, Missouri on March 15 & 16, 1997. We would like everyone to be a part of this show.

This two day weekend event will show the Amiga Community that the Amiga is making headway in its efforts to come back. Utilizing our expertise and low costs, a show of high caliber will be funded with minimal cost. The St. Louis metropolitan area has over 2.5 million people and is geographically centered.

In the past, many vendors have traveled to St. Louis to exhibit at our show, including Oregon Research, Intangible Assets Manufacturing, SoftLogik, and Amiga Library Services (Chronus).

For this show Amiga Report Magazine, Compuquick Media Center, Intangible Assets Manufacturing (IAM), NewTek, Inc., Nova Design, Inc., Oregon Research, QuikPak, Silent Paw Productions, Inc., SoftLogik Publishing Corporation and Wonder Computers International Inc. have already committed to attend. If you wish to visit their homepages then check out the links section.

User Groups in neighboring states have gone so far as to charter busses to attend our previous events. Amiga enthusiasts have traveled from all over the U.S. to attend. With your help, we can make the Amiga shine, and the entire community know that Amiga is not only back, but on the attack!
