As the sun sets on our 80th Annual Conference, we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this milestone celebration one we won’t soon forget.
From our first-ever fishing tournament and watercolor painting class to decoupaging oysters, a high school field trip, and gathering around the fire sharing stories with friends, there were so many special moments shared among our shellfish family.
And a huge thank you to all of our sponsors, the vendors who joined us at the tradeshow and the speakers who presented at the conference! Your support, products, expertise, and enthusiasm are such an important part of making our conference a success.
It’s the people who make this conference so special, and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who came together to celebrate 80 years of conferences, community, and the connections that keep us moving forward.
To those who were unable to join us this year, we missed you and hope to see you next year!
Thank you for making our 80th so memorable!
