Hi All,
A few months ago I posted that OC is hoping to organize a traveling group of reefers and vendors to attend SEA-MAX that is taking place in Seattle on July 23-24. Many of you stated that it was too far away to make concrete plans but now the time has come to finalize commitments.
Here is their link to the event and please note that the trade show organizers have been able to negotiate a deal with the Mariott hotel for better room rates.

I would like to have an idea of how many people are planning on attending this 2 day event and if you would be interested in traveling with OC and friends.
Myself and a few vendors will be offering a "swag" bag for attendees so to make sure we have enough "swag" to give away, please contact me asap so that I can organize the freebies with the other vendors.
Now for the good part. O.C. WILL be able to offer all OC attendees the ability to bring back NON CITES livestock
I will facilitate the importation of your NON CITES livestock that you buy at the trade show. There will be a nominal sur charge applied due to the cost of filing the paperwork with USFW; so the more people involved the more diluted the fee will be.
Details surrounding this will be made more concrete as we get closer to the date.
Please PM me if you have ANY questions regarding this or the event. It is very rare that a U.S. lead trade show occurs so close to our backyard. Don't miss out on this chance to meet some great vendors that you may not otherwise have a chance to meet.
Cheers,
Paul
