[Reef Builders]

This year’s MACNA in Las Vegas in just over a week away but we’ve just received confirmation on next year’s host city.

Love Macna but it always requires vacation for me. I miss IMAC and Midwest marine conference.

Does this mean Orlando will not be hosting RAP 2019? ..... Please tell me we get both next year!!!

2010 was awesome. I had a great time. We saw the introduction pictures of the then recently discovered wild lightning clowns during the banquet. The gasps from the crowd were loud!

May be a stupid question, but since this is held on disney world grounds does that mean you need to buy a disney world ticket to have access? Never been to Disney world not sure how it works. This event will be perfect for me plane tickets into Orlando are always cheap.

You can get to the resorts without having a pass into the parks. Good Lord, you don't want to know the price is costs these days to go to the parks.

MACNA and RAP are
Two different kinds of shows. MACNA is an education and industry event with corals for sale. RAP’s a big frag swap. [emoji3]

Yes that is how it used to be but now both events are very similar. Speakers and fragers at both events. Some events do have a point of difference but I will say if it is one or the other I would go to a Reefapoolza event over MACNA. I think many exhibitors are also feeling this way as well.

RAP had educational seminars/speakers as well (not 30 LOL), but i get it they are not the same. Thanks for the info.
