    The map is really looking great!! I don't think there is any question as to whether or not this will be the biggest and best NADA Show yet. Now for all of you that are on the map..................have you registered for the Show yet?? The map is based primarily on hotel registrations which everyone makes early so they won't miss out on the reduced rate and more importantly they are sure they will have a room. What we find though is that people procrastinate on actually registering for the Show. What's the rush after all, we surely aren't going to run out of room. Well here is the deal. It makes a really big difference from a planning perspective. Not everyone will stay at the hotel and not everyone at the hotel will actually register for the Show (spouses). This leaves us guessing at what the actual registration number will be. We need to be able to plan for how many seats are needed in the speaker rooms, how many goody bags are needed, how many t-shirts to order. We need your name to have a printed name tab and lanyard for you. So here is my request..............if you are planning on attending the GREATEST DISCUS SHOW in North America PLEASE go ahead and make your registration for the Show. It really does make a difference to those of us who are planning it for you.

    Great point Larry.

    Also, I will add, you can follow this link to buy your tickets to the round table breakfast as well as the awards banquet:
    http://discusnada.org/2016NADAdiscus...n-information/


    Could someone verify the date on both of those though?

    I still need to buy my tickets for these 2 events and I keep forgetting to.

    The brunch/round table speakers discussion and the banquet are on Saturday Rick.

    Larry, thanks for the kind words but for now it's only the biggest NADA show yet. Of course with all the tips you've been passing on we've certainly got a great shot at it being the best. We sure have a load of cool door and raffle prizes and Ardan's Creations will be stepping up the show a notch. Plus we've got Al!

    Thanks Keith. Your map is a great indicator of how many are already coming. That isn't to say the people that have yet to book a room or are driving in locally or not staying at the hotel.

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I'm bringing the wife and two girls (9 and 6yrs).
    My brother lives in CHI town and the girls will spend most of their time with their cousins while I talk fish all weekend. Is there a ticket I can buy them just to come in for an hour or two to just see the show fish in the tanks, or should I get them the full $50 registration? I have no problem if that's the case, NADA is awesome and we are so excited to be there.
    Thanks
    Geoff

    The only ones that need to register are those that will be attending the speakers. Your little ones can see the fish for free, all we ask is that they are supervised

    Those of you that live in the Chicago area please let you friends and neighbors know that they can come by and see the fish for free. While we would love for everyone to register, ,and come and hear the speakers, or at least join NADA, one of our biggest goals at NADA is to get more people involved in the hobby. Holding these shows and showing off our discus helps accomplish that goal.

    I am the only one from the Buckeye state. I was hoping to see more. It's only about 5-6 hour drive from Ohio.

    Hello, I am registered for the show, but not the hotel, as I live about 5 miles from Lombard. Looking forward to it.
