MACNAXXI September 25-27, 2009 Atlantic City NJ

MACNA 21 is coming to Atlantic City, NJ September 25-27, 2009! We've arranged for rooms in the beautiful Sheraton Atlantic City (they're selling fast though so don't delay), which is connected via walkway to the Convention Center. Folks who fly Spirit Air can fly directly into The Atlantic City International Airport and the Philadelphia International Airport is an easy drive to the hotel. We already have half of our current vendor spaces sold and expect the rest of the booths to move quickly.
There is an $89 discount admission that lets you experience all 3 days of the conference speakers, trade show floor, Friday Night reception, Saturday Night Banquet and Sunday raffles! This discount admission is available through October 31. Be sure to sign up before then for the best price on the full conference passes.
For those who haven't been, MACNA (The Marine Aquarium Conference of North America) is a three day conference for the saltwater enthusiast with more than 20 speakers giving presentations on many aspects of the saltwater aquarium hobby. We have an 83,000sqft trade show space with over 100 booths filled with manufacturers, distributors and coral farmers. MACNA is the oldest saltwater aquarium conference and at last year's conference there were more than 1500 attendees.
With the beaches, boardwalk and Casinos just a 4 block walk from the hotel and ample shopping in between, there is plenty for family and friends to do if they come with you to Atlantic City. Come early, stay long. The Jersey beaches are beautiful in September with warm waters and strong sun still plentiful.
Please use this thread to ask questions you may have and we will be by to answer them. You can also check out our website. www.macnaxxi.com
See you all in Atlantic City!

If your administrator could please sticky this thread that would be great.

Don't wait... The early registration discount for booth space is also good through October 31 (not to mention the booths are selling fast).

With the new version of Rock Band due out between now and then I'm sure there will be music to entertain almost anyone! And who knows what the next gimick will be to come out for Wii!? Could be something ALL TOGETHER different! I guess you'll just have to be there to know for sure!

If you enjoyed the swap you're going to love MACNA. 3x the vendors, 3x days of fabulous speakers, and 3x the attendees.

The early registration pricing of $89 goes up after Friday, so be sure to get in on the pricing while it lasts.

Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving! With an eye towards the upcoming holidays, we realize that many folks are just now considering what special gift to get (or put on their list). What else but a pair of tickets to the the largest saltwater aquarium conference?!

For the more than 200 who have signed up already ? we do thank you! You (and those of you who have not yet picked up your tickets) might be interested to know some more details of the event.

Our Friday night reception has taken a turn for the entertaining! We know there just isn't enough time in the day for chatting with fellow reefers so we'll spend Friday night networking, chatting and enjoying each other's company. We?ll be bringing in a band with a local start to entertain us ? The NERDS (sorry, Springstein & Bon Jovi were both already booked). http://www.the-nerds.com/. All along the Jersey Shore they are considered a local legend and truly one of the great cover bands to hit the scene. They have played from Carnagie Hall to the White house and many places in between.

Saturday night's banquet guests will have the pleasure of seeing Mr. John Chatterton, a speaker that I can assure you will find both engaging and entertaining. John Chatterton is one of the world's most accomplished and well-known wreck divers. He is the star of the book Shadow Divers, in which he was instrumental in discovering and identifying a German U-Boat that sank off the coast of new Jersey. He is a co-host for 57 episodes of the popular History Channel series Deep Sea Detectives. He is also a consultant to the film and television industries and has worked with 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, and CBS. Most recently John worked with a crew solve the 90 year mystery of the true reason for the rapid sinking of the Titanic. More of his bio can be found here:

This event is a truly hobbyist driven event (with over 20 speakers speaking on topics that hobbyists want to hear!). Those who have attended in the past already know that your fish and corals will appreciate all the knowledge (and perhaps prizes) you?ll bring back along with the memories of putting faces to all the Usernames you know from the boards!

Stay tuned for our next installment of MACNA XXI where we'll tell you about the vendors who have signed on so far to make Atlantic City a conference not to miss!

If you've never been to a MACNA before and if you're wondering if this event is for you the answer is a resounding YES! Like our Trade Show & Symposium last October, this event will feature many local and national vendors as well as speakers from around the country! This year's theme focuses on bringing the technique and technology of the pros into the hands of the hobbyists! We're looking forward to many hands on presentations for the attendees.

Things are really ramping up to MACNA XXI. We have the majority of our speakers listed on the SCHEDULE and the VENDOR FLOOR is filling in quickly with more than 70 vendors listed so far!

In case you didn't hear, Friday night's party will feature headline band The Nerds for your entertainment while you socialize with the folks that you haven't seen since last year's MACNA. Saturday night we will enjoy a presentation by John Chatterton, subject of the book Shadow Divers and host of the TV show Deep Sea Detectives.

Be sure to buy some raffle tickets at a discount when you register. The big screen TV was such a hot raffle item at New Jersey Reefers Club's AMAZING RAFFLES last year, we will again be raffling off a Super Big Screen TV along with lots of other goodies (both reef and non-reef related). Our vendors have already started the donation list including two really great tank setups. Keep an eye on www.MACNAXXI.com for more information.

The current conference discount expires on May 31 and the prices will go up as a result. Be sure to lock in at the current price as soon as possible (the prices will be $159 come September).

The current prices are:
Full Conference Pass (Includes Fri&Sat Evening Events) : $119
1-Day Conference Pass (No evening events) : $35
3-Day Conference Pass (No evening events) : $79


Those who will be staying at the Sheraton Atlantic City, host hotel of MACNA XXI should reserve their rooms as the block is selling out quickly and there will be no additional availability!

Hope to see you in Atlantic City!
