Hi all! My name is Greg and I am one of the directors of Bayou Reefkeeping. I founded the club in March of 2011 along with a few others and we have been full steam ahead ever since to bring MACNA to New Orleans. We host an annual show called Fragniappe and we have enjoyed it a great deal the past three years. Next year it will be the fourth annual Fragniappe in March AND MACNA at the end of August!

MACNA 2017 Full Conference Passes are still starting at $99 for a few more days!

Get your pass soon before the price goes up!

I am very interested in going, and making a weekend out of it. Try to hit up a Saints game, and some New Orleans cuisine.

I'm invited to dinner, right? There's plenty to do. If you're a history buff then you might consider the WWII Museum too.
