For any of the local folks that haven't already made plans for the weekend of June 28/29 the Reptile Super Show is being held this year at the
"Concourse" in San Diego. It's just been all redone and is a very nice convention center right downtown very close to everything. I'm going
to be there all weekend and have a table there, for any locals that would like to get together after the show Saturday evening I'd love to get together
with everyone and toss a few beers! (or whatever, hehehe). Wish I could make trip to South Dakota that same weekend, but costs are just too prohibitive for
me and I've been pushing my luck taking off so much time from work.
There's an awful lot of people already signed up for the show and it sure looks promising for a good weekend!! Check out the link here http://www.reptilesupershow.com/
There is going to be a conference on Thurs/Friday before the show too. Cutting Edge Herpetological conference, I'm hoping to be able to attend.... that
plan is still in the works, not a lot of chondro stuff going on there though, just a lot of other pretty cool stuff. Kamuran is going to speak there though!!

So, if you're here in CA and not going to South Dakota to play at the gardens, come by the show and we'll have a good time too!!

will definitely stop by and say hello...Looks like a good show. I can't wait...

Well this sounds pretty darn cool. I'll definitely keep this weekend open. I would also love to hear Kamuran's speach. Is he speaking Thursday and Friday? It would be great to have another show in So Cal worth going to.
-I could be wrong though-

I picked up a "T-Rex Herp Gazette" at LLL a couple of weeks ago and found some more info on the conference there. It's also going to be held at
the Concourse, the same site as the show. Registration is $125 Spouses/Partners $100 which include icebreaker Wed evening and two days of conferences and
entrance to the show for the weekend.
I love the idea of more good local shows, once a year is not enough! I'm betting we'll have a pretty good turnout this year! |

I'll be vending there too - I'm really looking forward to it!! I'd love to attend the conference part if I can. Hotels are pretty expensive close to the show, though, so we'll see. I wish they would put a schedule of the talks up on the site - that would help with planning. I'll look forward to seeing you again, Cathy - and meeting the rest of you!!

Excellent Nancy!! I hope that you'll be able to attend the conference too. Have you looked into any hotels in the area yet? Might be worth it to go inland
just a bit away from downtown to get a much better room rate. My husband is going to be down for the show on Sat/Sun and I was thinking of getting a room for
Saturday evening... thought it might be a place to hang around for awhile to unwind a bit too.

I will keep looking for a cheaper hotel so I can come for the conference. That would be fun!
Looks like I'll be next to Cathy's booth - so I'll be easy to find!

Update on Cutting Edge Conference | |||
|
Posts: 1652 (05/01/08 10:28:28) |
I have received confirmation from one of the promoters that the Cutting Edge Conference that was scheduled for Thurs and Fri prior to the Reptile Super
Show has been canceled and will be planned for next year. Some of the scheduled speakers will be holding talks during the Reptile Show over the weekend at no
extra charge to attendees. I am really bummed as I was looking forward to expanding my general reptile/herp knowlege and meeting new people. I know that the
combined efforts of all the promoters are going into making this as great a reptile show as it can possibly be though!!
