Drs. Foster & Smith’s LiveAquaria will be hosting our First Annual Coral Conference and Frag Swap on Saturday, August 6th & Sunday, August 7th. The goal of this Coral Conference & Frag Swap 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. In addition to the Frag Swap itself, several popular vendors will be setting up booths to exhibit their products as well as answer questions. Lunch on Saturday afternoon will be catered courtesy of Drs. Foster & Smith for all participants of this event. On Saturday evening, we will be hosting a Banquet Dinner that will incorporate three speaker sessions from some of the industry’s most respected professionals who will cover relevant topics pertaining to Aquaculture and Reef Keeping. On Sunday, we will provide tours of both our new aquaculture coral facility as well as our pet supplies call center and distribution center. On top of the previously mentioned features, we will be hosting a fund raising raffle in conjunction with the Greater Minnesota Reef Society and the Wisconsin Reef Society. Any proceeds that are generated from the raffle will be donated to these two societies.
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. 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. There will also be a limited number of tables available for those who wish to sell coral frags. In addition, we have blocked a number of rooms at area hotels and will have a shuttle available to bring participants to and from the Frag Swap and the Banquet Dinner.
