So many questions in this thread! We've been sleeping at the wheel.

Would love to see all of you at Vegas this year! We have plenty of interest group meeting space available too throughout the weekend, we should totally set aside a time for CANReef meetup too!

So, passes.
All pass types are not available for pre-order through our website, so go nuts!

Full Access Conference Pass - Includes everything, speakers, workshops, Friday night reception, Saturday Banquet, and exhibit floor. If you want to see it all - this type of pass is the way to go.

Daily passes either include the speakers or not (Full Access or just Exhibit Floor only) $35 for full access, and $20 for exhibit floor only. If you want to attend the Friday reception (live music, snacks, and socializing) or the Saturday Banquet (sit down dinner, presentation, and MASNA awards ceremony) they can be added a-la-carte.

The $90 weekend pass is the speakers, workshops, and exhibit floor all three days, so great for those who do not want to attend the social and banquet, or just want to a-la-carte one, save another night for some nights out at ashow or something!

All of the MACNA events are at our MACNA hotel, so no walking outside needed - because yeah, Vegas in September is HOT! This year's hotel rates are the lowest we have ever been able to offer for MACNA. To get our MACNA rates you need to book through our website, the link is below.

And, what to expect at MACNA?

It actually isn't just a trade show!!

The exhibit floor is like RAP on steroids, more vendors, and while admittedly our manufacturer to vendor ratio is higher than other shows, there are still dozens of vendors selling corals, frags, equipment and more.

A lot of attendees love actually getting a business card from the manufacturers for support issues in the future, so having them there to show you how to use their equipment is great!

Plus, so much shopping for all of us that just need that "one more treasure" for our tanks ;)

Our floorplan is continuing to update, and we now have all the reserved booths listed on our interactive floor plan - http://macnaconference.org/2018/floor/

All in the space of 12 hours I went from not being able to go then being able to go to again not being able to go

Where I work vacation is based on first come first serve and limited to a maximum of three people off per crew at a time (24 hr operation) found out that someone cancelled their holidays for that time slot and a put in for the vacation and all looked good 5 hours later was told that I couldn’t have it as I was beat out by someone else who put their time in a day earlier

Sigh....

Sounds similar to my line of work... May-September is considered the red zone where if you didn’t have annual vacation you can’t take that time off. We are allowed 2 off at a time...that’s iT...that’s all. No negotiations :neutral:

we bot the Full Weekend Pass 😀

BOOOM!

If you don't have your Full Conference Pass, now is the time to get it so you don't miss the Keynote (Dr. Charlie Veron!) at the Saturday Night Banquet! It will be EPIC!
