INIT HELLO, an Apple II conference that debuted last July, is returning this June 19–21. Unlike last year’s inaugural, two-day event, INIT HELLO, V2 will feature three days of retrocomputing activities, spanning Friday through Sunday.

The event will again be held at the System Source Computer Museum in Hunt Valley, Maryland, 18 miles north of Baltimore. The museum will host a variety of talks and workshops about the Apple II while simultaneously offering attendees the opportunity to explore exhibits and discover the history of various computing platforms.
