Sharkb8 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Just bought tickets tonight. Will be my first ever MACNA meeting. Cool to know there will be other WAMASians there. Should we have some kind-of secret wardrobe symbol or color to wear so we can spot each other in the crowds? What are these blinky things? Sounds like a good idea. Oh wait I got another option - everyone from WAMAS wear your t-shirts backwards. Then we'll know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobB89 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 I wanted to go, but plane ticket was a bit much for me. Used money toward build lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LED blinkies are a good bet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade August 5, 2014 Author Share August 5, 2014 Ya'll should get sponsorship from Ecotech or Geissemann or someone with LEDs to provide blinkies. Of course, carrying around power supplies tucked into your belt might get a bit tiring, but I guarantee you wouldn't be missed then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 I'm going to strap my old generation 2 radion onto a hat, and carry around a few ecotech battery backups in a wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Look for a WAMAS shirt or logo... I'll be wearing mine on most, if not all, days. It's one means of breaking the ice with some exhibitors and speakers, to hopefully develop some interest in our community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkb8 August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 (edited) Which talks are you all most looking forward to attending? And which booths do you really want to visit? Edited August 21, 2014 by Sharkb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSexyShrimp August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 Silly question--- do you buy corals and take them back with you on the plane? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 Some do. They also typically have FedEx on site and many will ship it home rather than carry if they bought enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefFrenzy August 21, 2014 Share August 21, 2014 (edited) Please come buy and see our brand new trade show booth at #708. We will be making an announcement on Saturday and have exclusive video footage playing on our HD TV that no one else at the show will have. I promise it will not disappoint!

ctenophore August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 Yes that was my plan. I think they just charge per person and fill up their vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueTricia August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I will actually be in Denver that weekend. I may stop by for a single day if I have time. I'm going to be laid over in Denver....too bad it's not enough time to do anything!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkb8 August 29, 2014 Share August 29, 2014 I am confused about the schedule. The talks are an hour long but the workshops start on the half hour and the talks on the hour. So if you attend a workshop you risk missing two talks? That makes no sense to me. And there's little to no information about the workshops, I.e., what will be demonstrated or discussed. Can one of the MACNA veterans enlighten me on how best to plan this out? I feel like I want to attend all the talks and all the workshops but without cloning myself I see that's not possible...

Sharkb8 September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 I am going through MACNA withdrawals. It was an awesome conference. I really enjoyed all the talks and learned so much. Even cruising the vendor booths was very informative and helpful. Definitely got some ideas of how not to run a MACNA conference as well. Denver did a great job, but there were definitely some complaints as evidenced by the comments on their app. I can't wait for next year. Already looking forward to it!
