The annual RAW conference is truly unique.  Professional aquarists, curators, directors, researchers, life support operators, and water quality technicians gather each year to share, learn, and collaborate.  Whether you’re a fish geek, coral nerd, jelly wrangler, or mussel whisperer, you’ll find like minds at RAW.  It’s all about making connections, sharing our work, and advancing our missions.

 

The annual conference is supported by sponsors representing the best commercial suppliers and partners in the business.  RAW’s exhibitor hall provides attendees the opportunity to connect with businesses that help supply and power our work.  But unlike many conferences, RAW sponsors are fully integrated into the RAW family and program.

 

At RAW, you’ll experience:

• A rich program of presentations representing the best work in professional aquatic husbandry

• A visit to that year’s host institution(s) for tours and an in-depth opportunity to see what your colleagues are up to

• A robust exhibitor hall displaying and demonstrating the best products and services that support our industry

• The best opportunity to connect with your colleagues to share your work, collaborate, and build relationships

• And we have a ton of fun!
