The 2006 KansasFest Committee is pleased to announce Eric Shepherd, owner of Syndicomm and publisher of Juiced.GS, as the keynote speaker for this year's KansasFest convention.
"It is an honor to have this opportunity to reflect on where the Apple II community has come in the past few years," said Shepherd, who also gave the 2002 keynote, "and to help chart a direction for it to continue." Past guest speakers have included Apple II inventor Stephen Wozniak and Syndicomm founder Gary Utter.
KansasFest, the only computer conference dedicated to the Apple II computer, returns returns this year to Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. Last year's convention saw the successful launch of KansasFest on a campus that brought with it the continuation of old traditions and the launch of many new ones, including the Discathalon, which are sure to return this year. Shepherd kicks off the event with his keynote speech, followed by an official reception.
The following days will consist of official events including informational sessions, the KFest Kookout, the HackFest programming challenge, and more. Friday night will feature a catered dinner during which a retrospective of KansasFest pasts will be presented, before the convention officially concludes the following day with the annual Vendor Fair, at which attendees buy, sell, and trade new and used hardware and software. This year's vendors will be making available the wares of Syndicomm, The ByteWorks, Nibble Magazine, and more.

Registration information is available online at or by calling InTrec Software, KFest's official sponsor, at (602) 992-1345.
