Welcome to Cincinnati
and the 2009 American Cichlid Association Convention
July 30 - August 2
The Greater Cincinnati Aquarium Society (GCAS) is very proud and extremely excited to once again host the convention. The American Cichlid Association conventions over the last few years have undeniably set the bar high; but, GCAS has a great group of people who will be working tirelessly to make the 2009 ACA convention one of the most informative, educational, entertaining, and just plain fun conventions youve ever attended!
The 4 days of the convention will be packed with exciting guest speakers including Ad Konings, Spencer Jack, and Michi Tobler; and workshops on Catfish hosted by Stephan Tanner and Photography by Gary Lange.
We will have day trips to the Cincinnati Zoo and Newport Aquarium/Krohn Conservatory; or explore on your own to area fish stores, shopping malls (we now have IKEA here!), Kings Island amusement park, local restaurants, sightseeing downtown Cincinnati, or spend the day at CoCo Key indoor water park on the hotel grounds!
Dont forget about the ACA juried Fish Show for all fish members of the family Cichlidae and the colossal fish auction on Sunday!!
Oh, and the Fabulous Babes will be here with their wonderful silent auction of all things fish and their, ahem, oral auction!!
Whew and thats just part of what we have in store for you! Come to Cincinnati, bring the family, and enjoy a wonderful 2009 ACA convention!!
