Special Deal at IMAC for Reef Central Members

[degall]

Hi;

WOW! Can you believe there are only about 3 months until IMAC (the International Marine Aquarium Conference)? May 30, 31 and June 1 are approaching fast. The conference will be in Chicago at the Crowne Plaza Hotel where the room rates are just $119/nite for a single or double. Here are the Speakers:

Bob Fenner
Dr. Sanjay Joshi
Dr. Ron Shimek
Frank Burr
Anthony Calfo
Scott Fellman
Adam Cesnales
Jake Adams
John Coppolino
Dr. Adelaide Rhodes
James Fatheree
Tony Vargas
Tim Hayes
Allen LaPointe
Tullio Dell Aquilla
Tom Frakes (Banquet Speaker)

And there will be a Big Trade Show, a Gala Banquet and a Huge Raffle. Most of the Speakers have their bios and abstracts in and we have the Program Schedule up. We are again having a “behind-the-scenes” tour of the Shedd Aquarium.

Regular registration is still a bargain at $125 but, since you are a member of Reef Central, you can take advantage of the special offer we make to members of reef clubs. The full registration can be yours for just $99. You have to go to Program Advertising and scroll all the way down. Just enter “Reef Central” where it asks for the name of your club if you don’t belong to one.

So hurry over to www.theimac.org and check it out. The special $99 offer is only supposed to be good until the end of February but since this announcement is late, we will keep it open for you until Mid March. IMAC is your best value for education, checking out new products and schmoozing with other hobbyists.

Happy Reefkeeping,
Dennis

Hi;

I understand it is already almost impossible to get a room in the MACNA hotel but don't worry. Although it is only 2 months to IMAC, we have a very large room block and we are OK for now.

So hurry over to www.theimac.org and sign up before the registration fee goes up next week.

Cheers,
Dennis

Hello, This is the first I have heard of anything in Warsaw, I live in Bremen, IN and would really like to know more about this. As you know there really isn't any place around here for saltwater, corals ect.
Thanks

Take me out for a beer and I'll do the same.

And, I've never even been to Japan.
