The next Marine Aquarium Conference of North America (MACNA) is in Pittsburg, probably about this time next year.

There are probably regional or other conferences as well, but I don't know.

By the way, we were informed that PayPal was performing some upgrades this weekend to their merchant account software, so some people were unable to register. So, we have extended the $75 early bird discount rate until 10/9/2006!

9/14-16/2007...And rooms at the Raddison connected expo center where the MACNA 07 is being held are only $109.00!
Pittsburgh is a great city to spend a few days in.
They have an aquarium too!

That is quite the list of speakers, Steven. Pittsburgh is not that bad of a drive from Philadelphia. I may consider attending MACNA this year.
Thanks for keeping us updated, here. It is much appreciated.
