MACNA_2017 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi all! We are thrilled to host MACNA 2017 in New Orleans! My name is Greg and I am one of the directors of Bayou Reefkeeping. I founded the club in March of 2011 along with a few others and we have been full steam ahead ever since to bring MACNA to New Orleans. We host an annual show called Fragniappe and we have enjoyed it a great deal the past three years. Next year it will be the fourth annual Fragniappe in March and MACNA at the end of August! MACNA 2017 Full Conference Passes are still starting at $99 for a few more days! Get your pass soon before the price goes up! http://www.macnaconference.org/2017/registration/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galvintjime Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I already registered at the end of September, so I'm all set! This will be my first time attending MACNA, so I'm really excited to see what all there is to do (and get... ) when I'm there. Also, I've never been to New Orleans before so I hope that there'll be some fun tours of the city, though it'll be difficult to pull myself away from all those pretty tanks. Hopefully there'll be some weird vendor with some nice, rare NPS pieces!!! Is anyone else going this year? Hopefully I won't be the only one from here.
