Hi;
Do you know it is less than 2 months to IMAC (International Marine Aquarium Conference)? It will be held in the beautiful Holiday Inn O’Hare in Chicago June 4, 5 and 6. That’s a different hotel than last year, with a great layout. The speaker rooms and the Exhibit Hall are right next to each other. If you enjoyed IMAC last year, we’d sure like to have you back. And, you’re in the neighborhood; it would be a shame if you miss it.
It’s already shaping up to be a really great conference with some of the best speakers, such as
Eric Borneman,
Dr. Ron Shimek,
Dr. Clyde Tamaru,
Mark Schick,
Dr. Charlie Mazel,
Jeff Mitchell,
Dr. Tim Hovanec,
Marc Lamont,
Dr. Sanjay Joshi,
Scott Michael,
Steve Robinson,
Anthony Calfo,
Beth Ann Panocha,
Walt Smith,
Bob Fenner,
Tullio Dell Aquilla,
Adam Blundell
Dr. David Meyer,
Randy Reed,
and Allen LaPointe.
We have now received all their abstracts and we now have a schedule posted. If you did not attend last year, you can get an idea of what goes on at the conference by looking at the streaming videos of portions of Dr. Shimek’s, Eric Borneman’s, Julian Sprung’s and Richard Harker’s presentations on the website.
And we have exhibitors such as:

Perfecto Mfg.
All Glass Aquarium

who have already signed up! That is already many more exhibitors than we had last year, with more to come. And we are spacing out the speakers so attendees will have more time to visit the exhibits. This year we already have a lot of livestock and dry goods dealers and you know they don’t want to take stuff back with them, so there will be a lot of great deals. All Glass Aquarium has just upgraded their Grand Prize for the IMAC Raffle to a 120 gallon complete set up. Check the website for other items that have been donated to the raffle.
So hurry over to www.theimac.org and check out the changes we have made to the site. Currently, registration is just $150 for the full 3 day conference, including Speaker Presentations, Banquet with special speaker, a Huge Trade Show, Speakers’ Reception and Raffle and we have a room rate of only $93/nite, with free transfers to/from O’Hare airport. And daily and student tickets are now available. Registration goes up in price in just a few weeks so don’t delay. Don’t miss IMAC which will be the event of the year for reef hobbyists and dealers!
We’ll see you in Chicago,
Dennis
