MACNA_2017

Quite a bit of interest after my latest post, I love it! I'll try to address the previous few posts! Yes, air conditioned. Around here nothing isn't as it's pretty much needed year around. All exhibitors will be in one large exhibition hall! It's one 127,000 sq ft. HUGE rectangular shaped room! There are two routes from the hotel to the convention center. First is to walk along the street about two blocks. Second is a fully air conditioned route walking through the Riverwalk Mall. We have Hall E for the exhibition space, Hall D for the banquet, and La Nouvelle Orleans Ballroom for speakers. it will be split in half making two large speaker rooms.

Are you familiar with the Morial Convention Center where MACNA 2017 in New Orleans will be hosted by Bayou Reefkeeping? It has over 1 million square feet of exhibit space, covers nearly 11 blocks, and has over 3 million square feet of total space. The front of the main building is 1 kilometer long! It's an incredible facility!!!

You can't go wrong really. Both are interesting, day and night!

There's a saying in New Orleans that the party never stops. Nor do the bars close. Thanks for the heads up. We have them covered.

How awesome will that be!? Being a part of our own Mardi Gras style parade from the venue to the Friday night reception location!

Of course. I hear you're always wanting to do more MACNA work, so just tell them when you're ready.

Hi all! We are thrilled to see the enthusiasm here for MACNA 2017 in New Orleans! My name is Greg and I am one of the directors of Bayou Reefkeeping. I founded the club in March of 2011 along with a few others and we have been full steam ahead ever since to bring MACNA to New Orleans. We host an annual show called Fragniappe and we have enjoyed it a great deal the past three years. Next year it will be the fourth annual Fragniappe in March AND MACNA at the end of August! MACNA 2017 Full Conference Passes are still starting at $99 for a few more days! Get your pass soon before the price goes up! http://www.macnaconference.org/2017/registration/
