M-ACES, formerly Computerfest®, now features three exciting events lasting two full days. Computerfest continues on as one part of our show, but is now joined by ImagiSpace and the Dayton LANfest.

COMPUTERFEST®

Still the area's largest computer fair, Computerfest features vendors from across the country offering that widest selection of computers, computer parts and software available under one roof.

IMAGISPACE

New to the show, the area features exciting new products from a wide range of household technologies such as digital cameras, digital crafts, voice activation software, home theater technology and other gadgets for the digital home.

DAYTON LANFEST

Having broken all records for the largest computer gaming event in Ohio, Dayton LANFest continues to grow into one of the top computer gaming venues in the nation. This show's LAN Party will feature gaming tournaments as sponsored as qualifiers for the World Cyber Gaming national finals to be held in Anaheim California.

Nationally ranked gamers from across the country will be competing to qualify for the nations later this fall. Some $10,000 in prices and giveaways will be available to the 250 plus players expected to participate. Registration is available on line at www.daytonlanfest.com

"INTO TOMORROW" LIVE BROADCAST

M-ACES is proud to have the nationally syndicated technology talk show "Into Tomorrow" with its host Dave Graveline to broadcast live from our show on Sunday. "Into Tomorrow" is syndicated over 100 plus markets nationally as well as on Armed Forces radio and over satellite radio.
