Hi Everyone.

ITS BACK!!! The club is proud to announce NERAC is ready to roll. Speakers, we're excited to announce this years speakers are Charles Delbeek, Daniel Knop and Julian Sprung.

We're just starting to line up vendors so check back to see who's planning to attend.

Early bird special pricing! Until January 15th we'll be offering a reduced rate, $15 for just the conference and $35 for VIP (admission to the conference, catered lunch with the speakers and admission to the aquarium).

Again this year we'll close the event with a gourmet dinner by the reef tank, dinner this year is $55 per person.

Register today!!!

All Access paid. This is a 'frag swap' as well?

Vinny Kreyling · 01/15/2014, 05:16 PM

I see the times of the raffle and dinner on the site but is there a schedule of when the speakers will be presenting. I will have family in tow and will not be able to attend the full event. Would like to decide if i should come early or late. Thanks in advance

qy7400 · 03/10/2014, 04:16 PM

Speakers are slated for 9A, 11A and 2P, we're waiting to see if the speakers have a time preference before we post. Lunch will be server in the speaker room shortly after the second speaker wraps up. There will be small breaks between speakers, 2 hours during lunch and after the last speaker to visit the aquarium and vendor tables.

Hope to have the line up set in a few days.

MAGNUMDIVER · 03/10/2014, 05:13 PM

Just signed up for NERAC VIII Dinner Only ($55.00). Stupid question, does this option includes conference access?

nancyw1955 · 03/20/2014, 04:09 PM

No conference is separate or you can do full access (conference, lunch, aquarium & dinner) for $95

drunkenclown · 03/21/2014, 02:37 PM

Do I have to register and pay online or can I register tomorrow when I get there

sparky310 · 03/21/2014, 03:01 PM

jpitch · 03/22/2014, 03:06 AM

I just bought 2 tickets. Was I suppose to receive something to show at the door?

TheSherm · 03/22/2014, 01:45 PM

It is hilarious we were worried about vendors, the place was stocked. Good job exec board, wish I didn't have to leave early. Great to have nerac back.

"We" weren't worried about it, One very vociferous person was worried about it.

Happy to hear the conference was a great success. This club is blessed with a fantastic, world class, executive board

I feel horribly guilty that I was not able to be there today. I'll be making a donation to the club as my penance.
