International Marine Aquarium Conference
Dennis Gallagher 952-322-3356 |
MN | USA | 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 reading this, 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 “Calendar” 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 the end of March. IMAC is your best value for education, checking out new products and schmoozing with other hobbyists. Happy Reefkeeping, Dennis Dennis Gallagher, Conference Chairman International Marine Aquarium Conference |
