[Sc-aquaponics] Aquaculture Engineering Society Aquaponics Webinar TODAY

[Smith, Matthew A.]

All,

I have received this many times over the last 48-72 hours, but I have held off sharing it as I was trying to learn whether this webinar is free or not. Their link HERE<https://www.aesweb.org/news/13/aes-webinar-21st-april?fbclid=IwAR1xwcdGSWG3Ek3w9nnSiHrzAAX0302msLx78uskqLBtRbooncXDi7k5Eag> says members only (minimum cost to be a member is $35), but many (including some of the presenters) are under the impression that the webinar is free. I am still not sure if non-members will be let in the Zoom room to watch the webinar, but I wanted to get it to the SC Aquaponics folks. There are some great speakers, so I encourage you to participate if possible!

See below my signature for the full write-up on the webinar, including the Zoom link.

Regards,

​Matt
