Pen Plotters

Two exhibitors demonstrated pen plotters connected to era-appropriate hardware showing how engineers used to create high-quality computer-aided drawings. [Sergiu] also demonstrated what a pen plotter could do on modern hardware by offering portraits to anyone willing to wait for it to draw.

Vendors

A wide variety of vendors were more than willing to make a deal to help guests fill out their collections.

Guests & Exhibitors

The show was a tremendous success with a total of around 1800 guests, exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, and volunteers in attendance — more than double the first show in 2023.

Sold a plotter drawing this week so I'm filling the slot in the store of mine with a drawing of mine from 2022 that I like a lot!
