Registration for the event, as well as hotel room bookings, are finally available! Check out the site below:

We've been hoping to make the official announcement for a while, but had to clear up some behind the scenes work first.
This year we're hosting the event at a new location; the Hilton in Rockville. We feel that the hotel gives us more room, as well as better accommodations, and is situated in a better location. Room rates are even lower ($99/night) for a room with a King bed, or 2 Queen beds. All of the same great activities, with some new vendors will be available. Check out the link for the hotel below:

Please book your room ASAP, our reserved block is only guaranteed though February 12th, though the rate is guaranteed as long as rooms are available. We've been told there will not be any discounted rates on other travel sites, so please book through our link, or mention the event if you call on the phone. PM me if you have any issues.
4 great speakers this year:
we're bringing back Joey Mullen (The King of DIY) (https://www.youtube.com/user/uarujoey/featured),
we also have Jim Cumming (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXKTV3u2o44r5oGWQBdFe0Q),
Jools Dignall, part owner of Planet Catfish (https://www.planetcatfish.com/core/articles.php?contributor_id=1),
and our own Rachel O'Leary, owner of http://msjinkzd.com/
The Aquarium Beautiful Competition is going to have a better/new category system, more details to come.
The Rare Fish Auction will feature donations from several great vendors, as usual.
Vendors on-site throughout the weekend, and the all-day marketplace on Sunday, table reservation is available on the site as well.
Feel free to post any questions, or add pictures or videos from past years!
