Today is the last day before rates go up! Be sure to register for the conference and the Epcot tour today. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot!

FYI everybody!  There are only 18 spots left on the tour bus!  I just got the registration page set up last night and we are nearly booked out for the Epcot tour.  Registration goes up in four days and if you want to secure a spot on the bus, I'd register soon for both soon!

You can now register to attend the "Behind the Seeds" Complimentary tour of Epcot's the Land Attraction.  You must be registered to attend the conference in order to take advantage of this incredible offer.  Space is limited to the first 55 registrations for the tour, so don't delay!  Go to http://aquaponicsassociation.org/2011-conference/registration/ to register.  About half way down the page you will see where it says, "Click here to reserve your spot now for the complimentary, private tour..."  Follow the links, reserve your spot, pay for the $20 chartered bus ride and that's it!  Too cool if I do say so myslef.  We were just there in March.  But we paid for it!  Lol.

How do we go about signing up for the tour on the web site?  Is that already up and running?
Comment by Wayne Hall on July 25, 2011 at 6:15pm
That's just too cool... excellent job, you guys are just going to make this the best conference ever.....

We just finished working out the details and will have info up on the site in the next couple days.  If you have paid for your registration already, you will be able to go to the site to register for the tour.  We had to arrange for a charter bus per Disney's instructions so everyone arrives together for the special admission to the park, so there will be a small fee for that.

We are very excited to announce that we have arranged for free behind the scenes tours of Epcot's The Land Exhibit for Conference attendees! That's right, attend the conference, meet industry icons, learn from incredible presentations and then wrap up your aquaponic weekend by touring the infamous Epcot hydroponic/aquaponic exhibit. For free! Stay tuned for details and how to sign up! This is a $108. 53 value!

Tom is speaking in the afternoon at one of the Community focused workshops.  The slot in the morning you are referring to has been being held for Charlie Price of Aquaponics UK who just confirmed this afternoon that he will join us from England! Charlie is the guy in the TEDx aquaponics talk who did such an awesome job - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nIL9hWW3-Q&feature=player_embed...
