A huge thank you Ricardo, for sharing all these wonderful photos !
Please feel free to add any other pics you may have of the event. It was very difficult to photograph discus in there so I didn't try to take too many. Tried to get more of a feel of the event itself. I will not add names to many of these as there are too many to name. A slew of pictures follows:
Lets start with the speakers:

And of course our very own, Al Sabetta talked about Discus in general

Dan Lorbeske talked about collecting in South America and this was a very very good presentation. I enjoyed this thoroughly. He and Erica Hornbrook both work for Shedd Aquarium
