Hi all! My name is Greg and I am one of the directors of Bayou Reefkeeping. I founded the club in March of 2011 along with a few others and we have been full steam ahead ever since to bring MACNA to New Orleans. We host an annual show called Fragniappe and we have enjoyed it a great deal the past three years. Next year it will be the fourth annual Fragniappe in March and MACNA at the end of August!

MACNA 2017 Full Conference Passes are still starting at $99 for a few more days!

Get your pass soon before the price goes up!

Chris already got the ticket, we are going to go ahead and reserve a room too.

 

Any special after hours parties in the exec lounge? If getting the deluxe room would you recommend river or street?

 

As far as parties in the executive lounge, there's nothing scheduled at this time. I would absolutely recommend the river view. At night time you will gain a true appreciation for the "Crescent City".

Are you familiar with the Morial Convention Center where MACNA 2017 in New Orleans will be hosted by Bayou Reefkeeping? It has over 1 million square feet of exhibit space, covers nearly 11 blocks, and has over 3 million square feet of total space. The front of the main building is 1 kilometer long! It's an incredible facility!!!

WOW! looks amazing. Is the hotel in walking distance? I bought my tickets a few days ago. Greatly looking forward to my first MACNA!

 

Yes, it's walking distance. About two blocks away from the convention center. You can even take a fully air conditioned route between the two facilities via the Riverwalk Mall.

 

Thanks for buying your tickets, see you in New Orleans!
