Vintage Computer Festival Zurich 2025

The next Vintage Computer Festival Zurich will take place on January 18 and 19, 2025, at Kraftwerk Selnau.

Thanks to the generous support of our partners, we are thrilled to host this fascinating event for the second time at the unique venue of Kraftwerk Selnau in Zurich – an opportunity we greatly appreciate.

Our poster this year highlights a true classic:

Tetris

On June 6, 1984, a completed version of this game was played on a computer for the first time, and it has since become one of the most influential video games of all time – to date, it has been released on over 65 platforms.

Despite our broader focus on computing technology, the theme of “games” offers a fun and accessible entry point for less tech-savvy visitors.

To mark its 40th anniversary, we want to integrate Tetris as a special highlight in our exhibition.

Registration is open

Whether as an exhibitor, speaker, or helper – you’re invited to be a part of the festival.
Registration is open now and is expected to end mid-December.

Event Date

Originally scheduled for November, the VCF will now take place in January – a new date, but with the same enthusiasm and passion.

Due to team changes, Orfeo Maurer, Christoph Kummer, and Peter Zumstein will take over main coordination. Mario will step back from project management, and Daniel will focus on organizing the talks.

Volunteers Needed

This is an exciting new start but also brings new challenges. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to assist with organization, setup, and actively shape the event. If you’re interested in helping us out, please reach out at:

Sponsors Needed

To successfully bring VCF Zurich 2025 to life, we rely on financial support and are seeking sponsors. If you’re able to support us financially or connect us with potential sponsors, feel free to contact us at:

We look forward to making VCF Zurich 2025 an unforgettable experience with you all. Let’s celebrate the history of computing together – as visitors, exhibitors, helpers, or sponsors.
