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:

John Nicholson discussed Judging criteria.

Dr. Stephen A. Smith discussed Discus Health, Illnesses and Treatments. Great talk on pathology.

Joshua Raatz filled in for Josie to explain about being a fish importer

And of course our very own, Al Sabetta talked about Discus in general
DSC09736 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
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

Erica Hornbrook discussed Project Piaba, which is an organization NADA donates to regularly.
DSC09789 by Rick Vasquez, on Flickr
And finally, Dick Au. Great orator and very informative.
I didn't get a chance to get a picture of Spencer Jack and there isn't one of me unfortunately.
