MACNA is gettin' big...

[Moe_K]

...and MACNA's gettin' bigger!

A total of over 800 registrations so far.

Emily said she was swamped today with phonecalls because our mass (snail) mail just hit pet stores. Many people have just heard about this and want to register right now.

I got the good news from RobboT minutes ago.

Nice work, Mantishunter, RobboT, Emily and everyone else who has pitched in to help.

This is gonna be huge.

Dave, the families that will come with the reef geek in residence may require more than one room. I have 4 brothers and a sister. When we stayed at a hotel we'd take up a wing. Now that we are older we've taken over the hotel in my mom and dads town when they had their 50th anniversary party. 25 rooms. all for family and friends. half of those were family.

 

[Scuba_Dave]

Ah, I was thinking HillBilly was coming & needed spare rooms for "encounters"...

 

[Moe_K]

The exhibitors also take up a lot of hotel rooms.

The capacity chart from the hotel would seem to indicate that the conference rooms for the talks are limited to about 50-100 people, depending on the seating arrangement.

Is that correct?

here's the chart
