The event takes place every year between late July and early August, and lasts three to four days. The most recent Assembly was held from 30 July to 2 August 2015 at Messukeskus in Helsinki. In the beginning of the year 2007 Assembly Winter was announced. The new winter party is a more gaming oriented event where as the summer events continues the traditions of the original demoparty under the name Assembly Summer. Both parties will be held once a year. Assembly is the world's largest gathering of demo programmers.〔("Girls Dig Demos Too" ) by Steve Kettmann of Wired magazine. (August 3, 2001)〕 == History == The first Assembly was held from July 24 to July 26, 1992, in Kauniainen. It was organized by the Amiga demo groups Complex and Rebels, and the PC demo group Future Crew. The staff grew into a large non-profit group of individuals known as Assembly Organizing. Through the 1990s, Assembly grew so large that even exposition halls no longer sufficed, and only the largest of sports arenas met the partygoers' needs. In 1999 they rented the largest sports arena in the country, Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, with over 5000 visitors and 3500 computers on the ice rink. The 2004 edition of the party also set up a record: in July 2004, QuakeCon announced it was holding the world's first Doom 3 competitions on the event starting on August 12–14, roughly a week after the game's release on August 3.〔http://www.quakecon.org/forums/showthread.php?p=20891 〕 Assembly, however, managed to snatch the first place after acquiring copies of the game via FedEx with the help of some contacts in the United States and holding the competition during August 5–8.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20110719154204/http://media.assembly.org/press/assembly2004_doom3_eng.pdf〕 As of 2011 the party has been held for 20 consecutive years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Assembly (demo party)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
