KansasFest 2026, the 38th annual celebration of the Apple II, will take place at the University of Illinois Springfield on July 14-19, and will highlight the Apple IIGS. This year’s event will feature speakers and special guests who have made significant contributions to the Apple IIGS, keeping the machine alive for nearly four decades. As always, all retro computer enthusiasts are welcome, including fans of the Apple I, II, and III, and all other retro computer platforms.
KansasFest is the largest and longest running annual Apple II conference. Users, programmers, hobbyists, and retrocomputing enthusiasts are invited for days and nights of sessions, demos, announcements, contests, and camaraderie. Registration will open in April.
