Aquatic Gardeners Association 2012 Convention is in St. Louis on November 1 - 4, 2012. Bill and I have gone to the last 2 conventions. It's so much fun. This year there is going to be an aquascaping workshop. It's only a small workshop for 18 people. It's first come first serve. It's a chance to get a complete set-up tank (with CO2) and be taught to aquascape, hands on. Right now there are only 13 spaces left. If you want to do this you have to sign up right now!

so we have to be aga members to get in or attend the work shop, confused by the prices. how much is a membership and how much is the work shop.

It's all a la carte, except you do have to be an AGA member to go, a $20.00 cost.

You have to be an AGA Member or a MASI member, and you must register for the convention at the same time in order to register for the workshop. Everyone can attend/watch/audit the workshop. The field trips and the banquet are optional, so everything is priced separately.

The workshop also includes the driftwood, rocks, and plants. You get to take it all home. You can ship it home from the convention if you prefer for about $15 (depending on how many rocks you use!).

cool. so if I understand right it's 20.00 a year for membership... then the work shop is X amount, and the convention is X amount...

CherylR

Yes, convention registration is $54 (if you register by September 1st) and the workshop is $89.

Both MASI and AGA are $20 per year, and both memberships include publications. Take your pick!
