MACNA 2013 goes to Miami by the sea for the 25 year anniversary

MACNA 2013 will be hosted next year by the Florida Marine Aquarium Society, essentially the club of the greater Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and south florida reefing sector. Scheduled to take place from August 30th to September 1, 2013, we find it wholly fitting that the 25th anniversary of the Marine Aquarium Conference of North America should take place so near to the Caribbean sea. The FMAS has done some great things in the past, with an active lineup of speakers coming to present to their members, many of which are the movers and shakers of this industry.

Tony Vargas, Julian Sprung, Colin Foord and many other fine aquarists call FMAS their home club and we have very high expectations from this group of practicing and enthusiastic reef aquarists.  FMAS will be shaking up the feel of the 2013 MACNA with an amazing waterfront hotel, some creative activities and reaching beyond the usual crop of notorious speakers to offer the stage to more progressive up-and-comers. Already we have learned that Matt Wandell of the Steinhart Aquarium and Morgan Moore of Reef Gardener will be part of the initial lineup of speaker presentations for the 2013 MACNA XXV. We’re sure to hear lots more details about the “Miami MACNA” in Dallas this weekend so stay tuned!

    That all depends on your age. If you’re above 50 you need to wear a Tommy Bahamas or Guy Harvey shirt, linen shorts, and boat shoes (no socks of course). Everyone else should be wearing sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt. Night-wear is another story; dress to impress.

    Woo-hoooooo!!!

    I’ve lived my entire life in South Florida and I’m a member of FMAS. I’m really looking forward to this event. If you’re not used to South Florida, especially Miami, expect a lot of beautiful women from all around the world, brush up on your Spanish, and when it’s not raining, be prepared for the humidity. I’m not sure what’s wetter, the rain or the humidity.

    I hope the women are more beautiful than the ones that were milling around outside our hotel at MACNA 2009!

    That was Atlantic City, right? I doubt it will be that bad, but it’s in Hollywood and not really Miami, but if you plan to go down to Downtown Miami or Miami Beach (South Beach) at any point, I will guarantee that you will see stunningly beautiful women, unfortunately I can’t vouch to their geniality.
