Maybe once my wife stops having kids I can finally attend!!!!

Don't think that's entirely her fault.

Do I have to wait for the opportunity to register for the show? Or can I just go ahead and book my room?

You can definitely book, a bunch of people already have. Here's the link to the show website http://discusnada.org/2016NADAdiscusshow/ and here's the one for hotel reservations with the group discount we negotiated. https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/even...0&key=27D074F2

We got a really good rate for guaranteeing a certain amount of room rentals so using the link above is a win win.

Looking forward to meeting you at the show, it's going to be an awesome time.

Are you wondering about anything specific? Because I could go on and on. Numerous aquatic manufactures have been contacted about providing items for door prizes, raffles, and goodie bags...we've already received some awesome items. What I hope is a really fun show logo has been designed and has been given a big thumbs up by the powers that be. That's been incorporated into the trophies that our resident artistic expert and SD sponsor Ardan has worked and worked and worked on. Tanks etc. have been lined up. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.

[John_Nicholson]

I will be writing something up today explaining the show classes and the speaker schedule. When I do I will post it here.

Just curious, does this hotel have a bar?

Just curious, does this hotel have a bar?

The MWDA, who's hosting the NADA event, still hasn't decided if it's D stands for Discus or Drinkers and you wonder if the hotel has a bar? A very nice one located directly between the Holy Mackerel Restaurant and Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse. On top of that there's a Brewhouse just across from the complex entrance and a slew of other options. The hotel has 24 hour shuttle service as well.

Come check it out and I'll get you your first drink.
