The purpose of the quarterly event was to provide a meeting place where videogame collectors could get together and discuss videogame collecting as well as a place to buy, sell and trade games. The group was a hit and attracted videogame collectors from all around the Northeast from Canada to South Carolina. In 1998 Hardie and Iida decided to bring NAVA to the national level. They teamed up with Richard Tsukiji to include classic gaming memorabilia to Tsukiji's annual World of Atari show. The show was held in Las Vegas at the Holiday Inn Boardwalk Hotel and Casino on August 21-23 , 1998. The event was such a success that Hardie and Iida decided to break away from World of Atari and, along with Sean Kelly, created their own show, Classic Gaming Expo.
