Amiwest is the premier Amiga-focused show in North America. Amiwest
has provided a haven for like-minded individuals to come and celebrate all things in the Amiverse: Commodore Amiga's, Emulation, Aros, AmigaOS 4, and MorphOS . The show has become a yearly event in the community, with many new product announcements and introductions expected. Over the years, the show has seen Amiga companies come and go. Our goal has to be to create an environment for the community to come together and share ideas and AAA good times through it all.

Join us Sunday morning at AmiWest 2026 to take a deep dive into AI coding for the Amiga Computer. This session aims to help AmiWest attendees and folks watching around the world leverage AI tools to create for their favorite platform. To get the most out of this session, please bring a laptop (Linux, Mac, or Windows), a virtualized version of your favorite Amiga platform, an AI service or a local LLM, and your ideas. The workshop will focus on getting everyone set up with an AI-powered development environment. Don’t worry; if you are not able to get everything set up beforehand, we will help folks get the entire environment going. The workshop will be hosted by three people: Chris Collins, Stefan Reinauer, and Bill Borsari. |
