Reef Conference Houston, TX, Reef Currents, Sat Feb 28, 2015

[OceansX1]

The Houston MASNA club, MARSH (the Marine Aquarium and Reef Society of Houston) will again host Reef Currents on Sat February 28th, 2015 at the Sheraton IAH. The inaugural event went spectacularly well, so we're expanding the event for 2015.

We've booked the hotel's ENTIRE Grand Ballroom, nearly 9,000 square feet for the raffle and vendor area, and nearly 4,000 square feet for our speakers. We hope to have all of our previous national vendors and sponsors. Also, we are aiming for 3 great speakers.


See the old site address for the vendors, sponsors, and raffle items we had in 2014, and updates for 2015:

Please lets us know of any suggestions on vendors or speakers you'd like to see there?

Show is ~9 months away....
