2007 Coral Conference and Frag Swap

Hey guys,

I am getting excited, looks you are going to outdo yourselves this year for sure!

I have two questions for you about the swap:

1) Can traders bring their own frag setups in place of the tank provided or are we restricted to that unit? I found it tough to get all my frags into the 10 gallon tank the first year.....not sure what the swappers tank is going to look like this year?

2) Can I get on a list to pick up a cancellations of another frag trader? I was supposed to register my buddy but waited too long and missed it so he is a bit ticked. He is currently registered for the conference but not as a trader.

Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing you all again too!
 
Meisen,

Thank you for contacting us with your questions on the Frag Swap. We ask that you use the aquarium setups we have available. At this time we currently have 1 trader post left to purchase. Here is a link to sign up for the last trader package:

Cool,

Sine he is already registered for the full conference, is there any way to just add the additonal cost of the frag trader spot to the purchase or is that just too complicated?

Thanks again.
 
Meisen,

Thank you for contacting us with your other questions. You would need to sign up for the last Trader Option first and then contact us at 1-800-334-3699 and we can cancel the basic package your friend has already purchased. We can then refund the cost you paid for the Basic Package.

Again, we are looking forward to seeing you at our Frag Swap as it is an exciting time.

If we can be of any additional assistance, please feel free to contact our Technical Support Department at 1-800-334-3699 or via email at TechSupport@drsfostersmith.com and we will be happy to answer any question(s) you may have.

Can you buy a ticket at the door?

I wish I could go to the aquaculture facility tour, but they are fully booked correct? Or at least for days out they are booked anyway?
 
T5nitro,

To ensure an opportunity to attend our Annual Coral Conference & Frag Swap, we highly recommend getting a ticket in advance. Currently, our Saturday Aquatic Tour schedule is full, however we still have tour openings available for Friday and Sunday. If you are interested in attending the tours offered on these days, we suggest registering as soon as possible to reserve your spot.

Is there any kind of confirmation besides the email you get after ordering? Is something coming in the mail regarding registration or is it just show up and be on a list that you already registered? pardon my paranoia, but I don't want to drive up there and have it messed up :)
 
We encourage everybody to sign up early online as we are selling out quickly! Space for the Aquaculture Coral and Marine Life Facility Tours as well as our Warehouse and Call Center Tours are filling up fast.

Tickets purchased “at the door/day of” will be available at our Retail Store and will permit entrance into the Frag Swap & Exhibitors Area. Other amenities, such as gift bags, banquet dinners, tours, etc. are not included with this ticket, as we cannot guarantee quantities.

Further details regarding our exciting 3rd Annual Frag Swap tickets can be viewed here, please click on the following link:

3rd Annual Coral Conference and Frag Swap

We will be sending an email to all registered participants around June 11 verifying your package selection and tour information. A file for the schedule will be included in the email with a link to a large map of the event grounds, details on the auctions and links to the auction pages. Further information regarding where to obtain badges and gift bags will be included.

Traders will receive information on early set up times and a link to the Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce for other area events.

We hope this additional information is helpful. We look forward to seeing you all at our 3rd Annual Coral Conference and Frag Swap.

How much will at the door tickets for the frag swap be? Will it be less than $15 a piece since you don't get a gift bag/tour?
 
T5nitro,

Thank you for your questions. As of this time, we have not yet determined an exact pricing for tickets that will be available "at the door" on the day of the event. We will be checking with Management in regards to this, and will post any information as soon as it is available.

We are all getting very excited for the Frag Swap that is coming up at the end of the month!

We highly encourage purchasing tickets ahead of time in order to receive the best value for your dollar. You may purchase tickets at the door the day of the Frag Swap, however, the cost of these tickets will be $15.00 this year.

Hello Everyone,
As of this week there are well over 500 attendees signed up for the Fish and Coral Conference. This does not include our own staff and support team of over 100. Kevin, Steve and Jaime are working overtime to make sure that we meet your expectations.

The new facility is mostly completed and operational and Kevin exceeded our expectations both in terms of quality and function. I think you will agree.

For the past several months Kevin has been rounding up thousands and thousands of dollars worth of the best corals and fish available in the U.S.. Some will be for propagation and others will be sold once quarantined, examined and treated. Additionally, he will be traveling to various Wholesalers/Importers over the next week in search of corals and fish for the future. You will see these under acclimation when you tour.

Hope to see you all there------ Race Foster
 
I'm really looking forward to the drive down (yes I live way north of there), and it looks like everything is well laid out. I'm sure it's going to be a great event. :)

Thanks to everyone for all of the hard work and planning.

Edit: forgot to ask - will bagging equipment like oxygen be available to purchase for those of us who aren't traders? The Holiday Inn said it's okay for us to set up holding tanks in our rooms, so we will need to re-bag everything when it's time to go home.

T5Nitro,

It ‘s wonderful to see the large number of people interested in joining us for the 3rd Annual Coral Conference and Frag Swap. There will be tickets available at the door, and at this time there are still openings for the Coral Farm and Warehouse tours. If you wish to take the tour of our recently expanded Aquaculture & Marine Life Facility, we suggest ordering you ticket(s) online. Today is the last day for open registration and to guarantee a spot for any of our tours. We have provided a link for the open registration.

PAS Photography,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing corals at our Frag Swap event. Anyone may purchase corals at our retail store; however, to purchase corals from traders at the event, or to participate in live and silent auctions, admission to the event is required. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $15.00 for anyone who has not signed up in advance.
