A new twist to the convention this year is the addition of "Focus Groups."

Barr, Neil Frank, and Ghazanfar Ghori.


Additional conference and focus groups presenters will be announced
shortly.

Phil Edwards,

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Sounds like a pretty good event. Texas sure has alot of fish activities. I can't remember any other state that hosts more events than TX. Must be a ton of aquarists there.
