While the evenings and nights of KansasFest are renowned for their spontaneity, the mornings and afternoons are reserved for sessions spanning a variety of uses, extensions, and applications of the Apple II family. Just as varied as these sessions are the good people who volunteer to present them. If you have a topic you’d like to present, please fill out the session proposal form.
As introduced a couple of years ago, we’ve reduced the number of after-dinner sessions to free up more evening time for spontaneity. The logistics:
- Session proposals will be accepted until May 31.
- After May 31, the KFest committee will review all proposals and select a good number to fill out the schedule.
- We will then e-mail to let you know if your session is accepted.
- Fear not, if your session doesn’t make it in this year, we’ll strive to get you in next year.
Past sessions have included hardware, software and game demonstrations, and tutorials; integration of the Apple II with other devices; emulators; programming; Apple II history; or any subject that would be of interest to Apple II users. We also love other retro computers, especially if you incorporate into your session how it compares and contrasts with the Apple II.
Sessions are typically 15, 30, or 45 minutes in length and are held at various times throughout the daytime hours. Keeping your session proposal to 45 minutes or less will let us fit more sessions into the schedule.

Do you have a topic you would like to see presented, even if you aren’t the one to do it? Email us your idea or post it to the list and maybe someone will be inspired to step up.
