Emerald525 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I heard this may be happening. I also heard from a reliable source that Macna and Masna may not occur any more in the future due to revenue loss/bankruptcy. It’s a shame as this was a fun and educational venue to attend. https://reefbuilders.com/2023/02/28/masna-announces-the-cancellation-of-macna-2023/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 How sad. We've made it a point to attend the last few years of MACNA, and really enjoyed it. We were going again this year, until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they haven’t been profitable for a while now and Vegas was the only one that was. I sure the pandemic didn’t help and Kevin stepping down didn’t help. It’s a lot of work. Just organizing the reef show here was a lot of time can’t imagine doing a show on that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourmedic Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 This is too bad, I really hope 2024 brings it back with a bang and it gets a lot of momentum and keeps going strong!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it that May not happen but fortunately there are some other shows that are well run like aquashella but I felt like Macna had the most educational focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
