My MACNA XX Atlanta Experience

[MtnDewMan]

I returned home today from the MACNA event in Atlanta. I had a great time. I went a bit early and went to the Georgia Aquarium (when it was not crowded at all) as well as the World of Coca Cola museum that were both right across the street from the 1996 Olympic Centennial Park and beyond was CNN Center in Atlanta. Overall I had a blast. Lots of people at this event, large crowds, great people I was able to see again too. I had lots of fun. Okay, will attach some pictures here and in a few posts if I can

FYI, the hotel we were in was 72 floors, so will throw some pics up of the view from floor 53 (my room).

The Whale Shark tank was absolutely amazing!!!

The aquarium was next to the World of Coca Cola museum and across the park from the CNN Center.

Now to the MACNA Conference. Another shot of the conference hotel from a distance too.

The vendor area was huge and the main ballroom for the big events was pretty big as well.

LiveAquaria.com had the coolest 3-tier zero edge tank displayed.

Let's not forget our friend Kevin (Kevinpo) as well as Sanjay

There were some fun displays and speakers for sure.

Anthony was there, you can see me there too Oh and one display where they used a chiller to cool drinkable lemonade down to 39F.

I guess I took a lot of pics

The last couple of pictures were in line to the aquarium (again) where the main banquet took place on Saturday night (eating while watching whale sharks swim around, very cool).

Anyone recognize the guy in that last pic?
