Upcoming CoCoFEST!
The next Glenside CoCoFEST! will be:
- 19th Annual "Last" Chicago CoCoFEST!
- On closing day of the 2009 event, the Glenside CoCo Club announced it would be hosting "yet another" event for 2010. The date is uncertain, and Spring dates are expensive or difficult to get in the hotel. They are considering moving to the Fall and having it on the first weekend of October (or in September) in 2010.

CoCoFEST! Facts
- Allen Huffman authored "Fest Reports" for the great majority of these CoCoFESTs, and even them for sale in a book called "CoCoFEST Chronicles."
- From 1992 to 2004, every CoCoFEST was held in the same convention room at the exact same hotel, though the hotel changed names from time to time. The 2005 CoCoFEST, however, was moved across the highway to a larger and more luxurious accomodation. The former hotel is no longer a hotel.
- The 2005 CoCoFEST was the first CoCo Fest to have wireless Internet access available throughout the fest floor.
