I am proud to announce that Drs. Foster and Smith are gearing up to host our second annual Coral Conference & Frag Swap. This event is scheduled from Friday, June 23rd through Sunday, June 25th at our facilities in Rhinelander, WI.

The goal of this coral conference is to bring together hobbyists and professionals in order to trade, sell, and swap coral frags, as well as learn and exchange ideas among one another. The plans are to have various activities scheduled throughout the weekend. There will be speaker sessions from some of the industryââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s most respected professionals who will cover various subjects pertaining to Aquaculture and the hobby. In addition, we will provide tours of both our aquaculture coral facility as well as our pet supplies call center and distribution center in Rhinelander. Raffles will be incorporated throughout the weekend with some magnificent door prizes, and lunch will be catered courtesy of Drs. Foster & Smith for all participants of this event on Saturday. We will also have some of the more popular cleanup crew items, live rock, and corals as well as supplies available for purchase at our Retail Outlet Store.

Pre-registration will be required for this event through our website for those who wish to set up a table to trade/sell frags and for general guests of the event. There will be nominal entrance fees for those that wish to participate. The entrance fee will include a gift bag containing sample products, a Drs. Foster & Smith T-Shirt, and raffle tickets. For those that wish to set up a table to trade/sell frags, we will also be including a display aquarium and packaging materials. There will be a limited number of tables available for those who wish to sell coral frags. We do encourage the pre-trading of frags through this forum. If you do not plan on selling any corals at the event, you will not need to sign up for a trader registration package on our website; instead you may sign up as a general guest. Seating for the banquet and speakers will be limited to the first 200 people, and there will be an additional charge for this portion of the event.

More in depth information can be found on LiveAquaria.com, but if you have any questions, please feel free to PM or email me.

Sincerely,

Will you have a vendor/manufacturer exhibit area again this year, and if so, which vendors will be there?:)

Thanks,

Tony
 
Dear Tony,

Thank you for your inquiry about our 2nd Annual Coral Conference & Frag Swap in June 2006. Yes, we will have the manufacture/vender area once again. At this point we do not have a list complied as we are still receiving registrations. The featured guest speakers at this time are: Julian Sprung and Dr. Timothy A. Hovanec. You may view our updates on our Coral Conference & Frag Swap on our home page at Live Aquaria.com but if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Drs. Foster & Smith, Live Aquaria.

Thank you,

Michelle H.

Again, thank you to the vendors and all of those that have signed up for making this event possible . Kevin Kohen and I promise a "fun filled" educational event for everyone.

As of 3-18-2006 we have over 200 participants signed up for the 2006 Coral Conference in Rhinelander , Wisconsin . We will easily reach our goal of 300 and would encourage those interested to sign on soon.

We have over twenty frag traders already registered which should make trading rewarding for those interested.
