The West Coast Computer Faire was an annual computer trade show and conference from 1977 to 1991 primarily held in San Francisco, California. It was co-founded by Jim Warren and Bob Reiling. At its inception, it was the largest computer trade show globally and was instrumental in promoting the adoption of personal computers for home use. To accommodate a more focused market, a specialized spin-off event called the West Coast PC Faire was later introduced. In 1983, Warren sold the operating rights for the Faire to Prentice Hall for US$3 million. The event was subsequently acquired by Sheldon Adelson, whose Interface Group also owned and operated COMDEX. Spanning fourteen years, the West Coast Computer Faire hosted a total of sixteen exhibitions before concluding with its final show in 1991.
