    Lol, we have the hotel booked and a section of rooms reserved for us and yes as Steve said we do have a special rate negotiated just for us. More details yet to come.

    Yes, not to worry. We had plenty of guest rooms blocked off for NADA in Chicago and there are even more rooms blocked this time. The thing to remember is that this block is released about 30 days prior to the end of the event so if you wait to the last week or two to make up your mind about attending you may be SOL.

    Hmm Tom, you may need to change your user name from Captain Discus to First Mate Discus.

    Tom, bring her along! We always have a special evening for all the ladies who attend. Usually Friday night. The past conventions have been a lot of fun for wives and girlfriends, right ladies?

    As Barb said there is a way to have both Happy Fish and Happy Wife. My wife has been with me for the last two shows and my wife and daughter came to the Chicago Show. They were rarely seen at the Show though. They had a wonderful time touring the many wonders of Chicago. Plan for the weekend or plan a weeks vacation around it. You won't regret it!!

    Not to worry all. We have a large block of rooms on hold for us. Im within 10 minutes to where the show will be held so if anyone has questions about the area, where to go, or what there is to do, please send all your questions my way. If it helps convincing any spouses to take the trip, the hotel has a free shuttle to the train station which is 5 minutes away and that will take you to New York City in thirty minutes !!!

    When we are ready we will be posting a link for the hotel registration. We are currently working on the 2018 Show website and all the info will be available there. Of course as new info comes available, this (Simply) is always the first place we post it.

    I'm with you about being where the discus are. I don't leave the hotel except maybe to eat (maybe). I always try to emphasize the importance of being at the hotel. Lots of times local people will say they are going to stay at home and come to the hotel for the talks and stuff. It is more than just going to the talks. Don't get me wrong, they are informative and given by some of the top discus people around the world, but before the talks and after the talks and at 3 in the morning you get to talk one on one with these experts and you spend time with Simply/NADA friends and experts. The experience is unbelievable.

    The train station is Metropark and yes you can get there from Newark airport. The hotel has a shuttle service that will pick you up at Metropark and bring you to the hotel which is only 5 minutes away.
