Hi Phil, Is there an AGA’er in the area who
would be able to set up a small tank, let it grow out and then bring it to the
convention? It usually makes most sense for someone local to do provide
that piece. (that’s what we do at NEC, for instance) Otherwise,
you not only have the logistics of getting everything there and setting it up,
but also what to do with it at the end of the convention. Additionally, a
newly set up tank is never as nice as one that has had time to settle in.
Nanos are really pretty easy to transport fully aquascaped, and just refill
them with water on-site. When I do it, I even leave the fish in the tank. If you’re talking about an
aquascaping demo, in general, we’ve had vendors donate the needed
pieces. The vendors you want to hit up, especially are shops local to
where the convention is being held, again to make transportation easier and
less costly. I’m not saying that the BOD wouldn’t
consider a donation toward something like this, but it’s something we’ve
never done in the past. Scott and I made large folded presentation
boards (the foam core stuff) that we set up on the table as a nice display
talking about AGA. I have smaller, half-size ones that I made that fit in
my suitcase for when I speak elsewhere if they offer us table space, (usually
available for asking) I don’t know if I ever put in an expense
request for them, but I’m sure that’s something that would be no
problem at all. Ben can supply you with back issues and gift
certificates. You can give these away as door prizes after your specific
talk, or let the organization decide how to use them. (raffle, auction,
etc.) Karen From:
