A new Apple II conference has been announced for the weekend of July 26–27, 2025, in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
INIT HELLO will be hosted at the System Source Computer Museum, about an hour north of Baltimore. The museum is colocated with the National Electronics Museum and Bloop, an electronic entertainment museum.
Details on INIT HELLO’s schedule, speakers, registration, prices, accommodations, and meals have not yet been announced. The website’s COVID policy indicates that masks and vaccines will be required for attendance. A “refunds & returns” page suggests that shirts and other merchandise will be available for purchase. Interested parties are invited to sign up for the email list to be alerted when more information is released.
With KansasFest 2025 recently pivoting to an entirely virtual format, INIT HELLO will ensure North America’s Apple II enthusiasts will have an organized opportunity to gather in-person this year.
INIT HELLO and KansasFest are listed on A2Central.com’s Apple II event calendar among many other retrocomputing events being held this year, both online and off.
