Hi Everyone,

Well it?s that time of year again, LIRA is proud to host it's 7th annual NERAC conference on Saturday March 24th 2012; if you are new to the club or area every year we host our own conference out at the Long Island Aquarium, we bring in 3 to 4 great speakers and plenty of vendors for you to stock up on frags and dry goods. This year?s speakers include Dr. Sanjay Joshi, Tony Vargas and Peter Schmidel. We have also set up a new price plan to fit everyone?s budget, admission starts at just $15!

This year we are also breaking in the new Hyatt adjacent to the aquarium so everything?s in one room.

It's an all day event, schedule is usually 9A Speaker 1, 10:30 speaker 2, noon for lunch, 1:30 speaker 3 and 3P speaker 4. Raffles run 4:30 to 5:30 and for those who attend the dinner the cocktail hour starts at 6. We try to keep the talks to 45 minutes so those that wish to visit the vendors have time in between talks.

I haven't gotten the updated list of vendors who are setting up tables yet but will post it when I get it.

If I understand it correctly, the conference is being held at the aquarium or the hotel ?
Also is there a different price for the aquarium admission for family members ?

This year we are in the hotel, this way everyone is all in one big room. With this we were able to offer a conference only price to make it affordable to everyone.

I have an email out to Joe at LIA about aquarium only pricing and will post the results when I hear back.

One question Joe- can we move between aquarium and hotel freely if paid full ticket price? Can't wait, I'll bring a couple of friends with me.

Yes, Anyone who has paid the admission to the aquarium will get a wrist band to allow them to move freely between the two.
