NERAC IX March 21st 2015

[MHG]

It would be great is there was someone selling CUC's... something everyone is always replenishing...

Wish we had a list of vendors.

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

OK like it or not here we go----
Many of the Vendors are like many of the Attendees -- They say they are coming but have just not committed yet.
Last year 4 or 5 vendors paid for their booth on the day of the event.
Great, but if you don't pay in advance & we say, so & so will be there & they don't come we are left with egg on the face. I don't like eggs except scrambled.
There are 4 vendors so far & 3 are paid, so the 3 are:
Pacific East Aquaculture (Dr. Mac)
Fins Aquarium
NY Coral King

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!

I am told the following vendors have said they will be there -- not paid yet.
Marco Rocks--Bob's Exotic Fish--Seachem--Reef Farmer

 

[MHG]

That's good. I was hoping Marco Rocks was coming

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

Me Too --Tropic Marin has confirmed also

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

Pop Corals has paid.

Question. Do I need to buy aquarium admission in advance? And what age do kids get charged for aquarium? Already have my conference tickets.

 

[pecan2phat]

Vinny,
Did Pax-Bellum express any interest as a vendor for this event?

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

Warren,
Not that I know of.

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

lnevo,
Tickets can be purchased @ the conference for the aquarium.
I believe the age is 2.

 

[DeepSeaBeauti]

Vinny is there an option for the conference as well as the dinner? Or do they need to be purchased separately? Also, Will the venders be selling items? And if so will the conference tickets give me access to them. I like many are on the fence about going.

Thanks,
Will

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

Will,
Conference ticket gives access to speakers & vendors on the selling floor.
Yes they will be selling, livestock mostly.
Lunch, dinner & the aquarium are separate add-ons.

Mr. Saltwater Tank is hosting a little contest ......

 

[DeepSeaBeauti]

I see children under 16 are admitted free to the conference only, but what are the rules about the dinner? I do not see much information on the dinner. Can we request locations for seating?

Will

 

[qy7400]

Seating for the dinner is open, we've never assigned seating.

We only charge what catering charges us; children under 3 are free, lunch and dinner are a fixed fee as everything is served buffet.
