<div>Fellow Aquatic Culturists,</div><div><br></div><div>It has been
pointed out to me that some might be confused that the North Central
Aquaculture Conference may be in addition to the Ohio Aquaculture
Conference to be held later. Indeed, non-Ohio registrations for the
North Central Conference exceed expectations yet registrations from Ohio
are intriguingly low. However, in years when the Ohio Aquaculture
Association hosts the North Central Conference, there is no later Ohio
Aquaculture Conference that year. Our annual OAA business meeting will
be prior to the Social at the North Central Aquaculture Conference.
<br></div><div><br></div><div>Use the North Central
Conference as your annual opportunity to educate yourselves and network
with friends. Thus, please register and attend the North Central
Aquaculture Conference as it will be the OAA's "participatory"
conference for winter 2020. Again, you can register at <a href="https://ohioaquaculture.org/events" target="_blank">https://ohioaquaculture.org/events</a>. The last day for Early-Bird pricing is this Tuesday, Jan. 21st.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The
OAA Board realizes the cost is $50 more than the Ohio Conference, but
the North Central Conference is larger and requires a hotel venue rather
than the Quest Conference Center you are familiar with. 54
presentations rather than the typical 24, 38 exhibitors rather than
20-21, and the presence of NCRAC researchers, and extension
personnel, and increased attendance from out-of-state producers makes the extra $50 well worth it to every producer.</div><div><br></div><div>I
apologize if any Ohio folks are confused but again, the North Central
Aquaculture Conference is our conference for this year. Deadlines are
looming, so make our life hectic and register this weekend.</div><br clear="all"><div>
