    This isn't really that important, but does anyone know what Calfo & Reed will be speeking about?

    We haven't chosen topic yet, but you can bet that Randy's topic will have to do with feeding.

    Randy brings a display where he sells his stuff from, right? I'd like to get some Tigger-Pods to help jump-start my pod population. Does anyone around here sell the Reef Nutrition products? I don't ever recall seeing them.

    Ocean's Wonders was there last year and hopefully there this year. They have great stuff with great prices.

    I was wondering about ticket prices...last year tickets were a little cheaper if you bought them before hand...is there going to be anything like that again??

    No, only because we've already made the ticket prices lower across the board. For example a member can get into the event and see the speakers for $5. I believe it was $15 for a member admission with speakers last year.

    Does anyone have the actual street/mailing address of the facility? I think it would make it a lot easier for all the TomTom/GPS users to find the event.

    Thanks, I didn't realize there was a site for it. I know it is probably posted somewhere really obvious on the forum, I just didn't see it.

    We haven't been pushing the website real hard yet since we are still working on getting the initial sponsors and vendors lined up, but that will change soon.
    FYI, the pre-registration system is up and running for both attendees and sellers.
    Pre-registration is encouraged.   It's not that important for regular attendees other than it gives us a good way gauge how many people to plan for.   Sellers on the other hand should definitely pre-register.   We have a limited amount of space this year, so once that space is full, we will not accept any additional sellers.

    Just set the overflow sellers up in the men's room, that'll teach them to procrastinate registration :)
