We have you registered as pending and you will be listed as confirmed upon receipt of your check. Since you registered on the 31st of January it's still $100 (just in time).

Everyone who registers should receive an e-mail stating pending upon receipt of payment, and another when payment has been received (Pay-Pal or check mailed in). We have a running electronic list going so when everyone checks in the day of the conference just give us your name and you get your badge, Program Guide, dinner tickets (if applicable), etc. Sort of like Southwest Airlines ticketless flights.

Any questions about registration or the conference can also be sent to info@wmc2006.org or you can PM or E-Mail one of us from the buttons above our posts.

More Sponsors & Vendors

We've just added Piscine Energetics, Coral Reef Eco-Systems, and Reef Frontiers to the continually growing list of vendors that will be at the conference.

We are also extending the $100 admission price for MARS Members who sign up at the February meeting.

Mr. Prez, maybe you can get Reef Central to send out an e-mail to all members of Reef Central. As I remember, I got a e-mail from Reef Central about IMAC. Maybe they can do the same for WMC2006.

Hey Bruce - I've asked the Mods a few times about getting an announcement sent out. I'm not sure what the problem is (they don't want to support the WMC because they're supporting the IMAC, IMAC is paying for their announcements to be sent out?), but they won't respond to me. I'll contact them AGAIN and have Rich contact them too. Maybe if we inundate them with emails, they'll at least respond.

Hi Jeni, thats just wrong. Why is it they need to support one conference and not another. It's not like we only have two speakers no one has ever heard of.

Have you asked the guys at Reef Frontiers?

 

[thereefgeek]

Check out the sponsor's page (3rd one up from ROWA USA). Chuck and Mike are fighting over who will be coming to Sac to sit at the table.

The WMC2006 web site looks fine. FYI, when you go to the speakers page, you get stuck there.

That's a HUGE list of vendors! Are any planning on having products for sale or give away at WMC?

 

[ReefRian]

A lot of them are donating to the raffle as well as selling their products if they have a booth. Be sure to bring lots of money for all the cool products that will be on display.

Don't forget the GIANT raffle on Saturday. We have some great donations lined up from our exhibitors so far, so save money for the tickets. We plan on running the raffle similar to the Coral Colony Raffles at the swaps. If something apeals to you more than another you can load up the bin for that particular item, or spread them evenly between all that we'll have displayed! I know CaribSea, Mermaid Aquarium, and PGS (just to tease you with a few) have some big things planned. PE Mysis is also a huge contributer as well!

Hey People,

I was talking with some guys from SoCal who are planning on coming up (AlgaeGuy, Tedinator, o2many).

They were talking about taking the train up the coast and cocktailing all the way up.

Where would be the best place to start a thread to get more people to join in taking the train?

It would be kind of cool to just keep picking up Reefers all the way up California.

 

[duec22]

Isn't AlgaeGuy the guy who came and talked to us befor our last swap? Very nice guy.
I would put the thread in the General Disscusion. Who knows you might be able to get us some new attendes. And let me know where they are going to stop in Sac, I think it would be fun to go toss back a few with them.
