Wish I could afford to go to this 
Not counting the exhibitors, I'd estimate that we'll have nearly 1000 folks flying in for MACNA. We have attendees coming from Europe, South America, Asia, Central America, Canada, China, the Middle East and Australia. There's a reason that dedicated hobbyists spend hundreds of dollars to get to MACNA.... It's the premier marine aquarium conference in the world geared towards hobbyists. And... it's going to be in YOUR back yard this August. If you've never attended a MACNA, you have no idea how much fun and informative it is. There's only one rule, sleep is not allowed!
How do you describe an event that is 20x Reefstock to folks that have never seen one before? Of course, it's not a frag swap... it's an educational event. But that's not to say that there won't be corals there than we seldom get to see but on-line! This is one of those things that you'll kick yourself for not going, when you hear from everyone else about how fantastic it was. And for those of you thinking, I'll go next year... you better plan on buying your airplane ticket soon... it's gonna be several hours away by plane.
Don't forget folks this is the premier salt water fish conference of the USA. If you like frag swaps, speakers and seeing the new and up and coming fish gear / tech toys don't miss this event!!! Its a blast and this one is in your back yard.
If you're not planning to attend this show I'd say its time to begin saving your dollars!!!!!

You will be able to buy 1 day conference passes on-line, or at the door. Look for an announcement in the next couple of weeks.
If you want to join 1500 die hard reefers, speakers and exhibitors... there's still time to buy the Full Conference Passes which include the Friday Reception... a fun party at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the Saturday Banquet where we will be giving away a trip for 2 to Fiji... 10 days on a lovely island. The best part is that if you are a diver, there will be an option to upgrade to a Live Aboard dive boat!!
The day passes will give you access to the exhibit floor, speakers, workshops and drawings, but not the Party and Banquet.
Don't forget.... kids 17 and under are free.... we will have a Kids Corner where they can color, pet some cool critters or otherwise be entertained away from the show floor.
This is gonna be so much fun!!!!
