What time do the doors open and the events start on Thursday, July 12th?
Do they start off with dinner on Thursday?
Just figuring out if there would be time to drive down there on Thursday from Upstate New York. There is a chance I could be in Upstate New York around that time (checking on that now so I can make the Hotel reservation in time should I be able to attend).
There is nothing show wise happening on Thursday except showroom setup and fish arriving. Here's the schedule for the show http://www.discusnada.org/2018NADAdi...w/show-events/.
I'm going to second what Pat said and just say that, although many of us are connected to the community through SD, NADA is a separate organization and I encourage everyone to check out the show at the link to their site Pat posted. And you should go!

The doors will be open all day on Thursday!!!!!! Come on down!!!!
As Pat said there are no official events on Thursday. Room set up should start Thursday morning with the stands being assembled and tanks set up so we can start putting fish in the tanks Thursday afternoon. Not all fish show up on Thursday but some do so we have to be ready for them. My plans are to arrive on Wed night so I will be there Thursday morning to help set up. I know some others are planning on doing the same. We always welcome help with open arms. The more the quicker we have the tanks ready. There is another benefit from doing this. It gives you a chance to meet and get to know some people early before the room is so crowded. For me this is a big plus. I love the presentations from speakers and also enjoy chatting and buying from vendors but what I enjoy the most and the biggest reason I have attended all the Shows, is a chance to meet others that I have only spoken with online and some I have never had that online chance with. Along with building stands and setting up tanks we will be setting up tables for vendors/sponsors, we will be setting up the speaker room, we will be stuffing goodie bags and setting up the registration table. Plenty to do!!
Well I'm in sunny California and that is a little far for this old man. Wish i could attend, is there any shows out west in the near future?
