Macnas always seemed like an old boys club. The same folks hanging out and it was hard to break into the “club”. I’ve spoken to people about this privately and same thing the twice I went so I just gave up.
Im in Brooklyn, but I usually attend the Orlando and California shows. I stay in the hotel and hang with my buddies - what I envisioned Macna could be.
Someone said Macna is an act of love? Those booths in 2017 booths cost 2 to 3x what Reefapalooza cost today! One of the sponsored spots in Macna 2017 was Triton and it cost them 20K.
So once Macna got cancelled a few times and the vendors moved there budgets elsewhere - it was going to be hard to get them back.
Imagine you are a vendor launching a product or selling corals - do you want the new reefer? Or different people every year or do you want the same people attending year after year after year? Who’s more likely to spend money?
