Hey Come to the Last IMAC !

[degall]

Hi All;

Since the special for IMAC expired at the end of March, we came up with another one especially for clubs. For everyone who registers at the regular rate, you can bring up to 3 people who get full registrations just for the price of a Banquet ticket.

Since this will be the last IMAC, I would like to make it a big one so this will be the last big special we will offer. So hurry over to www.theimac.org and sign up today.

Here are the Speakers:

Dr. Sanjay Joshi: “Reef Lighting”
Dr. Ron Shimek (2 presentations): “Currents & Feeding Corals” and “It’s Not As Bad As We Thought; It Is Far Worse”
Frank Burr: “Self-sustaining Marine Biospheres”
Matt Pedersen: "Fish Breeding"
Scott Fellman: “Marine Biotope Aquariums: Taking Inspirations From Nature”
Adam Cesnales: “Form Meets Function: Designing Your Refugium to Work Harder”
Jake Adams: “Fluid Dynamics for the Reef Aquarium”
John Coppolino: “Rare Angels”
Dr. Adelaide Rhodes: “Frontiers in Fish Growing - Newest Technologies in Aquaculture that can help the Hobbyist”
James Fatheree: “Tridnacnid Clams â€"œ Diversity and Lighting Needs”
Tony Vargas: “Tubbataha â€"œ Unexpected Paradise”
Tim Hayes : “How to Be A Better Reefkeeper”
Allen LaPointe: “Water Quality Monitoring and Data Interpretation”
Tullio Dell Aquila: “Full Spectrum LED Systems for Aquariums and Aquaculture Use”
Tom Frakes (Banquet Speaker): “Global Warming: Reef Tanks and the World”
Robert “Bob” Fenner: “Mixed Reef Livestocking: Techniques and Approaches for Avoiding & Reducing Allelopathogenic Effects”


Cheers,
Dennis

Just a reminder. We have added more rooms to our room block but the last day to make a room reservation for the $119/nite rate at the Crowne Plaza is May 7. They still have some rooms left but hurry up. They probably won't extend it.

Cheers,

Dennis

Not quite, gotfish8, we are still adding exhibitors who want to jump in at the last minute. We hope to have it updated soon.

Why is it the last IMAC??

Hi Dawn;

Partly for health reasons, and partly because I am tired of doing it all by myself. Most people who put on large conferences have a club behind them and spreading the work around makes it a lot easier. When I did MACNA IX I had the Chicago club working with me and it was a lot easier.

I have been doing IMAC for 6 years and I think that is enough. I have proved it can be done and maybe it will encourage others to try it. The IMAC years have been great and I have made many wonderful friendships which I will cherish.

So, if you haven't been to an IMAC, this will be your last chance. We still have a few Banquet seats available. So hurry over to www.theimac.org and sign up, or you could still sign up at the door. We also have an "IMAC Friends & Family" Special where you can see all the Speakers and Exhibits, get a "goodie bag" and Program Book (everything except the Banquet) for just $45 at the door, as long as we have Program Books and "goodie bags" left.

We hope to see you in Chicago May 30, 31 and June 1 for the last IMAC.

Cheers,
Dennis

I went to the last IMAC, and while I was still there, I paid $190.00 for myself and my husband for this show- is there some rebate for me?

Hey Dawn;

Our current special for full registrations is if you buy 1 for $149, you can bring up to 3 people who also get full registrations just by buying Banquet tickets for $55 each. We are having filet mignon and shrimp scampi, and you get to hear Tom Frakes speaking on "Global Warming: Reefs, Tanks and the World", so it is a pretty good deal.

If you had bought 3 or 4 registrations, yes you would get some refund, but I am afraid it is kind of a wash with the 2 of you.

Sorry,
Dennis
