Aquaponics Association Annual Conference 2019

The Aquaponics Association's 2019 conference will be held at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky, USA in September.

Kentucky State University hosts one of the most advanced aquaculture research programs in the USA, including indoor aquaponics research systems, saltwater aquaponics research, a 30" x 70" aquaponics demonstration greenhouse, a 10,000sq foot recirculating aquaculture research building, and 33 research ponds.

The goal of the conference is to unite growers from around the world and advance the practice of aquaponics. The Aquaponics Association looks to build on the momentum of the last annual conferences Putting Down Roots in Portland, Oregon, 2017; and Putting Up Shoots in Hartford, Connecticut, 2018. Each hosted the world's top aquaponics experts, a vendor showroom of the top aquaponics technology and services, and tours of large-scale aquaponics projects.

Frankfort, Kentucky is a small, quaint town with some of the nation's top bourbon distilleries, the Keenland Racetrack, and other cultural attractions close by. Frankfort is reachable from Bluegrass Airport (LEX); Greater Cincinnati – Northern Kentucky Int'l Airport (CVG); and 60 minute Louisville Airport (SDF).

Further information regarding the conference weekend are to be announced at a later date.
