Classic Gaming Expo Reveals Dates and Location

Product: 2005 Classic Gaming Expo

The 2005 Classic Gaming Expo will be held Aug. 20 and 21 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, CA. Now in its eighth year, Classic Gaming Expo is the world?s largest event dedicated to the preservation and celebration of video game history. Classic Gaming Expo organizers chose the location because of its vast show space and the proximity to San Francisco tourism opportunities for visitors.

?Last year, we were excited to move to the area where the video game industry was born,? said Joe Santulli, co-organizer of Classic Gaming Expo. ?This year, we?re tweaking the location to bring back the signature intimate atmosphere of the show, which was lost in the cavernous San Jose Convention Center. Classic Gaming Expo is meant to be a gathering of people who love video games. We want to ensure that everyone feels at home at the show, and the Hyatt?s warm environment is perfect for this.?

The Hyatt Regency at the San Francisco Airport is the largest convention hotel in northern California, one of the few places able to accommodate the estimated 1,700 people who attended last year?s expo. The Hyatt is located two miles from the San Francisco Airport and the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, and offers complimentary shuttles to both. The 20-minute trip to downtown San Francisco should also appeal to attendees making Classic Gaming Expo part of their family vacations.

In 2004, people from all over the world attended Classic Gaming Expo to see the latest offerings from exhibitors, visit the world?s largest and most comprehensive video game museum, play classic and modern games, and meet the luminaries of video gaming?s past and present. Notable personalities such as Steve Wozniak, Nolan Bushnell, Ralph Baer, Al Alcorn, Jay Smith, David Crane, and other celebrities have attended past shows and spoken to Classic Gaming Expo attendees.

Classic Gaming Expo is open to anyone with an interest in video games ? both classic and modern. Gamers of all ages are welcome.
