Welcome to the MACNA Aquatic Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, from April 2-3, 2022.

The MACNA Aquatic Expo is an intimate two-day fresh and marine aquatic marketplace in Atlanta, Georgia that is for new and experienced hobbyists and provides direct access to exhibitors and unique retail opportunities.

Education is still a core feature of all that MACNA does, as such we will have a small number of speakers and workshops which are included in the daily & weekend tickets.

Our new 2 day show debuts in Atlanta at the Georgia International Convention Center adjacent to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport.

In lieu of a reception and banquet, we invite out of town attendees to enjoy the Georgia Aquarium and other nearby attractions at their leisure.






MACNA is back!


We at Atlanta Reef Club are proud that MACNA has decided to come back to our great state and they want to bring some interaction back to our hobby after a tough past two years. We will have a booth at the event to show our community the involvement that our club has in the hobby. When you are at the event stop by and see us at our booth! We want to see all of our members check in for some ARC swag! They have brought our club into the fold and want the ARC members to be fully involved in the process. Below is a link to get involved and volunteer for the event.

Thanks! If you signed up on their website you will be volunteering for them.

What do you need volunteers to do? As opposed to what does MACNA need volunteers to do? Might be helpful to let us know what this entails etc…

The BoD members will manning the ARC booth.

With regards to what MASNA needs from volunteers, we have not been informed. The answers to the forum you fill out in the link above will decide where they put you based on their needs.

I know that some of the text in that link states it's for the Milwaukee event and we're reaching out to MASNA about it, as that's the link they gave us and it seems to be an error on their end. We'll have an answer about it later today.

The link posted is for both events. If you are interested in volunteering please read through everything carefully.

If you've never got the chance, do it! It's such a blast!

When we talked to them, they made it clear that this was the "Aquatic Expo" and not the giant MACNA event that they had to cancel a year or so ago. They asked us to ask for volunteers but they'll handle everything through their website. Again, the event you want to select is "Aquatic Expo 2022".

Looks like the prices are the same for vendors for both events. I’m curious what the differences between the two events that warrants the same price for both?
