- Thread starter MACNA2014

As Adam indicated, full conference passes are currently $89. But they won't stay that cheap for long! The price includes three days of exhibits, speakers, the Friday reception and the Saturday banquet. We are all just back from MACNA 2013 and let me tell you, it was a hell of a show! They finished with over 3000 attendees. They also sold out of full access passes 3 months before the event.

MACNA = Marine Aquarium Conference of North America
Its only the largets and most respected event in the Saltwater hobby, celebrating its 25th year this year I believe. This will be the first time in Denver, and trust me, $89 is not too much to pay for the full weekend pass, you might check out the website.

As has been stated, this is the biggest saltwater aquarium events of the year!! This will be the 26th MACNA, as well as the first time ever being in Denver. $89 is a GREAT price, and is the same price that was paid for the early bird into MACNA 2013. This will guarantee all of the following, for all three days, except where noted:
Access to the entire show floor
Access to ALL of the speakers
Access to ALL of the workshops (biggest/most expansive workshop areas of all MACNA's)
One ticket to the Friday night party!! This is ALWAYS a great time!! Sponsor to be announced in the future
One ticket to the Saturday night banquet. This is where the MASNA scholarship winner(s) are announced, future MACNA is announced, and keynote speaker speaks!!
As has been stated above, one day passes will be sold at a future date, but for now, only full passes are available. Pick them up now, while you can! Miami sold out of full passes three months before the event took place, and there was a HUGE demand for them even after that!

As has been mentioned, this is the preeminent marine aquarium event in the country, and the largest hobbyist event world wide.
MACNA is the show owned by MASNA, the Marine Aquarium Societies of North America. MASC is a MASNA member, as are other local clubs and individuals.
MACNA brings together hobbyists, professional aquarists, marine scientists, product manufacturers and livestock retailers from all over the world. MACNA 2013, which just completed, had attendees from Tokyo, Europe, Australia, Singapore, South America and many, many other countries.
Typically we end up with 20-24 speakers including folks like Martin Moe, Kevin Kohen, Dr Jack Randall (you know, the guy who discovered and named half the fish we keep), Julian Sprung, Matt Wandell, Richard Ross, Jake Adams, Colin Foord, Sanjay Joshi, Dana Riddle, Scott Fellman, Joe Yaiullo, Dr Richard Pyle, Tony Vargas, Matt Pedersen, Mitch Carl, Ken Nedimyer, Christine Williams, Charles Delbeek, Bruce Carlson, James Fatheree, Scott Micheal and Jean-Michel Cousteau (yep... that one). That's a small sampling of speakers over the past 3 years, not including the previous 22 shows prior!!
In addition to the great speakers, you have the chance to see new products and fun toys for your tanks. Often, vendors choose a MACNA in order to announce their latest goods.
Then of course, there is the raffle. If you've ever been to a Reefstock and thought that there was a crap ton of raffle items.... well.... multiply that by 10! This year at MACNA 2013, there were some amazing items, Radion LEDs, Kessil LEDs, 300g Deep Dimension aquarium, Apex controller systems, more salt than a forklift could carry, and a myriad of skimmers and gear for your tank. Of course, if you were the grand prize winner, Boyd gave away a 150g custom complete setup with Radions, Vortechs, sump, everything you needed.... including shipping to your home. It was valued at $19,000 just by itself.
There are a core group of folks, numbering in the 600+ range, that travel to MACNA every year, regardless of where it is. I've been lucky enough to be able to attend nearly a dozen MACNAs. Nothing compares.
Your Full Conference pass gets you onto the show floor (3 days), access to speakers (3 days), admission to the Friday night party where you can visit with aquarists and professionals from around the world (be sure to bring that favorite book, odds are that the author will be there to sign it for you), as well as access to the Saturday night banquet.
Prices go up soon... so get your passes.... you'll be kicking yourself later if you don't do it now!
