Final Floorplan and Speaker Schedule Released For Aquashella 2018!

Not only will the best of the best be at this show but the floor map hints at some very interesting things that Aquashella has planned for it's attendees with the addition of the R2R Aquacrib, Saltwater Aquarium All Day Dance Room, Fritz Kids Corner, Dustin's Aquascaping Contest and much more! I really like this quote straight form the festival website. "Aquashella will offer a unique experience by transforming a typical showroom floor into a different underwater universe."

Exciting huh?

You can also download the map here.

If all the vendors, art and fun activities wasn't enough to get you fired up then this line up of speakers will be sure to light your fire! Check out this list and the scheduled times for speaking!

Make sure you don't miss out and make sure to pick up your tickets to the show here.
