"SEAMAX" is coming to the Pacific Northwest July 23-24, 2011

[MadMax]

​

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The passionate desire of aquarists in the Pacific Northwest has made a new MAX show a reality!

After careful study and consideration, we finally decided to grant the request of clubs and hobbyists who have long petitioned for a Marine Aquarium Expo in their corner of the country.

​

"SEAMAX" will debut in Seattle, WA on July 23-24, 2011 at the Seattle Center. Strategically placed in the center of the largest city of the Pacific Northwest, SEAMAX is anticipated to reach hobbyists and businesses throughout the entire PNW region.

The Seattle area is conveniently surrounded by large metropolitan areas such as Portland OR, Vancouver BC and neighboring states of Idaho and Montana.

Seattle Center:
The Seattle Center is a cultural park that hosts the site of the famous Space Needle, International Fountain, performances by internationally acclaimed theater, ballet, and opera companies.

Seattle’s best hotels, shopping and restaurants are located just steps away in the Queen Anne neighborhood or accessed by a two-minute ride downtown on the iconic Seattle Center monorail. SeaTac International Airport is only 18 miles away and can be easily accessed by public transportation.

Important Facts:
- SEAMAX will take place in the 34,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall
- Standard 10'x10' booths will be only $750 plus $50 (elect)
