[Dr. Kevin Erickson]

The Marine Aquarium Conference of North America (MACNA) 2022 will be in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin from September 9 - 11, 2022.

Website: https://macna.org
Day tickets from $35.
17 and under are free.

Reunited after two years of virtual programs, MACNA 2022 Gathering and
Growing will bring our community together for the best MACNA to date.

MACNA is a combination of several events.
It is an educational symposium where people can attend lectures from
industry leaders, conservationists, authors, and scientists.
It is also a trade show where hobbyists can buy the hottest new corals and
see new cutting edge equipment. Attendees can also give their feedback to
manufacturers so they can continue to bring us the innovations we are
looking for.
And lastly it is a social event. Many speakers, vendors, and hobbyists come
to socialize with each other. It gives people an opportunity to put faces
with names they might see on a message board or email.
