I just thought I would post this in case some you didn't get it and might be interested. Sounds like the who's who of the reef world will be there.

There are still a few spaces left for the Shedd Aquarium

conference is only $150 and we have a hotel rate of just $93/nite.

I would love to go, but the complete costs are just too **** large :( Anyone know if they sell the lecture notes on each speaker?
