제가 꼭 가보고 싶은 컨퍼런스이기도 한 MACNA (Marine & Aquarium Conference of North America )가 이번달 말에 뉴저지에 있는 아틀란틱 시티에서 있습니다. 이번에도 역시 참석은 어려운 모양입니다. 제 21회로 9월 25일부터 27일까지 3일간 진행이 됩니다.
The Marine Aquarium Conference of North America (MACNA) is the largest and oldest conference focused on the marine aquarium hobbyist. MACNA XX will take place September 5th-7th 2008 at the Westin Hotel in Atlanta, Ga. Aquarium enthusiasts will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with peers and professionals, and to learn from leading researchers in the fields of aquaculture, marine biology, diving and oceanography. Over thirty presentations on reef-related topics will be featured during the course of the three-day event, including speakers from Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Smithsonian, National Geographic, the Georgia Aquarium, and the BBC.
