NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Did you miss the 2010 NADA Convention? Did you hear about the excellent speakers? How about the amazing show fish? Did you see the pictures? Hear about discus friends, new and old, staying up till 4:00 AM talking discus. Were there people there that you have only talked to on line but you would really like to spend time with talking discus?
Were you at the 2010 NADA Convention and you know how absolutely great it was. Do you wish you could do it all over again...................................
Chad Adams (Sabres1) and I are excited to announce that the NADA BOD has voted that the NADA 2012 Convention will be held in Atlanta, Ga. in June 2012 hosted by the Southeast Discus Enthusiast.
Start making you plans to attend. You have 18 months so no excusses. You don't want to miss it!! As the planning continues we will post updates.

"HOT"LANTA!! here i come :))

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Atlanta should be a great spot. Only 12 hours from the house by car for me. For those that like to fly it has about 9 million flights a day in and out. Also the area seems to have a very happening fish scene happening.

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Any idea of likely dates?

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Thats correct. We won't start talking to Hotels till after the first of the year. Our plan is mid to late June. Just as soon as we have a firm date we will post it.

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Hell yeah, I will slate the last half of June for vacation leave. I'm more than dedicated! I'm eager to see alot of hobbyist enter fish into the show. With this much advance notice, folks need to be prepping their fishes! Lots of AMAZING hobbyist breeders in the US and all of them have fish worthy for competition.

Eddie brings up a great point. Right now you could buy a group of small juvies at a reasonable price & grow them to show fish size in a year & a half!!!
Larry,, myself & the great people of the SEDE are very excited to have this opportunity. I would like to start some threads where SEDE members can introduce themselves & offer their contributions. Also would like to start a thread to see what y'all liked about the show in Dallas so we can make sure we include those specific things in our plans.
Thanks NADA for giving us this opportunity,
Chad

One thing is for sure, the hotel better have a bar or club that stays open past 12 am. Who shuts a bar down at 12 am. Its not Chucky Cheese, its a bar! :bandana:

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Evelyn, glad you can make it..would love to meet you!

Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Great location only about a 12 hour drive for me. Count me in.
-
Re: NADA CONVENTION 2012 - ARE YOU READY!!!!!
Well, I'm already here so I should be able to make it. A June date cuts into my striper fishing though. Eddie, Atlanta has hundreds of bars and clubs that stay open all hours my friend.

Already got you down Scott. All members of SEDE have to have a written, signed excuse if they plan on missing the show.
Eddie doesn't want to go all over town. He wants whatever hotel we choose to have a bar that stays open late. At the Dallas show the bar closed early and the parking lot became the gathering place. We will work on this.

Yeah but hopefully the hotel where the Show is going to be has a decent bar that stays open late so I can actually crawl back to my room or just pass out in the lobby. LMAO
Thats if the Show is going to be in a hotel like in Dallas.
