Reef Retreat – An Educational Conference You Must Not Miss
There are several choices today for aquarists who wish to attend reefing trade shows in their area, Reefstock, RAP, national club sanctioned events and more. These marketplaces provide an excellent opportunity for hobbyists to purchase corals, fish and interact with manufacturers. Some have an educational component, but often that isn’t the focus of the event.Reef Retreat is a newly founded educational conference being held at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. There are no coral sales nor exhibitor booths to purchase goods, it is about community and learning. Sharing information with fellow hobbyists while learning from experts in the field. Attendees will stay together in campus housing, have meals together and socialize before and after each presentation. It’s an all inclusive experience!

Reef Retreat is the culmination of his goal.
