Thinking about going. Would be my first major swap. What should a newbie expect?

You should expect to bring more money than you think youll want to spend, and a bigger cooler than you think you need.

 

[Herbie]

for any other newbies, here is something I had to ask: Swaps are called swaps, but you can bring money to swap, you don't have to bring coral to swap. Carry on

Haha, no doubt.

I went to the reefwise winter event, which was fun. Is it safe to say that it will be like that, but at a bigger scale?

The Odeum is big and has a ton of parking. It shouldn't be cramped like the last one at vfw.

Over 2000 parking spaces, and parking is free.

bring lots of cash, I dont think most people swap, although I've seen some of the vendors swap

 

[FishBeard]

And "volunteers" usually get a sneak peek as well. The club is always looking for members to volunteer their time for setup and break-down of the events.

Yeah, I think they do some their swapping before the doors open. I've been one of the first through the doors on a couple of occassions and saw lots of coral hidden in the corners of their tanks that wasn't for sale. I think it pays to be a volunteer for this event
