IMAC in Vegas
Some of you may find this e-mail I just got interesting:
"
Hi;
You may have exhibited at IMAC or MACNA before, but here is a new opportunity for you to reach even more hobbyists. For years, we have been receiving emails from West Coast hobbyists complaining that we don’t have an IMAC near them. Now, we have decided to do something about it.
This year there will be 2 IMACs, 1 in Chicago on June 1, 2 and 3, and another in Las Vegas on August 10, 11 and 12 at the fabulous Riviera Hotel and Casino. While our costs are higher, we have managed to keep booth rental costs pretty close to those in Chicago, and if you are already exhibiting in Chicago you can take $200 off your rental costs in Las Vegas, which might make them even lower. And we have a bigger Exhibit Hall in Las Vegas.
This year, IMAC-Chicago and MACNA-Pittsburg are both being held in the East. In recent years we have had no more than a dozen attendees from California. And many Easterners and Southerners may also attend for the excitement that Las Vegas provides.
Since we are always looking for ways to help the vendors, in Las Vegas we are closing off most of the doors to the Speaker Rooms so attendees have to go through the Exhibit Area to get to them.
We have also secured a room rate at the Riviera of just $99 a nite and we will have coupon books available for 40-50% or more off on all their shows. So, get over to www.theimac.org and check it out.
Now you have a chance to reach hundreds more hobbyists than was possible before. We hope to see you in Las Vegas.
Thanks,
Dennis
Dennis Gallagher, Chairman
International Marine Aquarium Conference
P.S.-We have just 1 booth left for IMAC - Chicago"
