Here's a chance for a last minute registration. The hotel deadline has been extended to Oct. 29 for the $109 rate (for a downtown hotel that's an incredible deal).

Benito Tan, PhD
Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore

Florida Aquatic Nurseries is a convention sponsor again this year, and they are taking this opportunity to premier two new aquatic plants for AGA members. See these two plants live and in person in the Vendor Room, and on Sunday you can bid on them in the auction!

Nesea pedicellata 'Golden'

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Florida Sunset'

AGA Banquet The Saturday night Banquet is more than a great meal: you get to see the winners of the 2008 AGA Aquascaping Contest FIRST and hear directly from the judges who are present. Then Karen Randall will share her experiences exploring southern Thailand. Only those with banquet tickets ($40) will see these events!
