Thanks Travis,
If anyone has any questions about this event, please post them here and I'll update every other day or so. This is going to be a tremendous event and not one you will want to miss! Make a mini vacation out of it and come to Southern California for the weekend. This is something you can afford to bring the entire family to. (less than a hundred bucks a night and upto 5 persons at the Holiday Inn, CostaMesa; you just can't beat that!)

If anyone would like to exhibit at Marine Aquarium Expo, please contact me as there are still some booths available for rent. A 10'x10' booth for both days (including all electricity, pipe-n-drape, table(s), chairs, even saltwater) is only $800 if booked before January 1. The promotional benefits are incredible considering the 3,000 anticipated attendees that will be there.

Just as important (if not more) don't forget this is also an opportunity to develope close personal contacts with 100 other manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, etc. in a "closed-to-the-public" setup day on Friday April 4.

Don't forget that we have 8 awesome hotels with heavily discounted rates averaging $100 per night for you out-of-town travelers. All eight hotels are within a couple miles of the fairgrounds.

We recommend booking early as choice rooms fill up fast...especially the family travelers needing two beds; single King rooms not as bad.

We will also have a petting pool for the kids to marine life up-close-and-personal!

MAX is the largest consumer-trade show in our entire industry....anywhere!
There are over 100 booths exhibiting (and selling) everything from skimmers to frags and everything in between.

You'll definitely want to leave some time to catch a few speakers as well as bring some extra dollars for the HUGE raffle at the end of each day. There are food vendors, an ATM, and the enormous OC Marketplace immediately next door to checkout. Kids 12 and under are free

Let's put it this way: Plan on allowing he entire day for MAX if not BOTH days!
