saltwaterfishman August 30, 2014 August 30, 2014 This is crazy, I was just wishing that I could go to MACNA in Colorado, however travel expenses would be too expensive. But Washington is like an hour drive, should be awesome! Congratulations to Wamas.
smallreef August 30, 2014 August 30, 2014 He doesn't want you rolling home at 11pm smelling of acropora and booze and waking him up. The Marriott said that they have rooms with 1 king or 2 doubles at that rate when I booked. My husband actually told me to get a hotel room! I was like, I can just drive up to Springfield and metro in and out each day,lol so..just putting this out there for any other local female that might want to split a room with me I'm sure we can get 2Full sized beds Yes....and yes...He said to remember a cooler...and to label it so the hotel people don't touch it,lol like 'ORGAN DONATION' or something...
Squishie89 August 30, 2014 August 30, 2014 Yes....and yes... He said to remember a cooler...and to label it so the hotel people don't touch it,lol like 'ORGAN DONATION' or something... Just put "Ebola Samples" on it
Newms118 August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 So do the tickets with the early bird pricing go quick? Just wondering if I should get this now or can wait a bit.
Squishie89 August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 So do the tickets with the early bird pricing go quick? Just wondering if I should get this now or can wait a bit. The price is limited I think to this weekend if I remember correctly. I would buy now, you can always resell later if you have to, but this is the best price.
DuffyGeos August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 So do the tickets with the early bird pricing go quick? Just wondering if I should get this now or can wait a bit. +1 buy now, you can always resell later...maybe even make a little if not at least break even.
RW09903 August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 We have a big booth booked! Can't wait!!!!! I've been meaning to go out and visit you guys. I know it's a year out but I will definitely check out your booth!
Newms118 August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 Allright, got the full conference registration and the T-shirt. Can't wait!
six-line September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 Got mine and bought the t-shirt too! My first MACNA was the one that WAMAS hosted many years ago. Can't wait.
Squishie89 September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 Does not seem so, I am sure once they get back they will update the site here- http://macnaconference.org/2015/exhibitors-and-sponsors/ . (I stole the photo from Craig off the WAMAS facebook page)

Origami September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 Just a heads up for all going, parking is at an extreme premium down there. I used to do trade shows at marriott wardman all the time. You basically have two options. Park there for $30 or park across the street at the omni shoreham for $30, there is no public parking within walking distance and the meters are maybe 2 hours and you can't just keep filling them up or you'll get a ticket, trust me, been there, done that. If you don't need to drive the metro stops about a block away and is HIGHLY recommended.We're working with the hotel on discounted parking terms and possibly a lower cost off site parking alternative. The event is a year off still, so give us time to work these details out.
Incredible Corals September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 All the booths colored red are booked! Woohoo! Nice! Is that record? I see our big red colored box. I might not sleep for a year I'm so excited!
Origami September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 So many questions from you all. Sorry, we've had a very busy time these last few days. As you can see, many of the booths are already committed. That's a great success already. We will post a list of exhibitors and an interactive map as we are able. There's a lot we need to do to catch up. I think that we sold 500 or more full conference passes at the early bird rate. Thevrate is available a little longer, but it will go up, so get yours now. I don't want to talk about a specific date, though, should we find it necessary to limit the number sold at this loss-leader rate. As a point of reference, Denver limited their sale at the early bird rate to 500 tickets..... There's a list of former host cities that have hosted MACNA twice. We're not the first, but we are in an elite group. So far, so good.

Cliff Puckstable September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014 Wamas tshirts. Different color for each day. It will look like we're on a field trip.
