Adopting an online format for a mid-year gathering, mini MACNA is an opportunity for our community to come together and continue to learn about our incredible marine aquarium hobby.

mini MACNA will be held on February 27, 2021, as a webinar event, with the theme of ā€œOvercoming Challenges in Reefkeepingā€.

Recognizing the historical, current, and future challenges in our hobby is essential in ensuring our community learns from the past and continues forward sustainably and conscientiously.

mini MACNA will curate presentations and workshops that focus on these challenges, and we hope that all members of our community can join us in learning about overcoming these challenges.

About mini MACNA

mini MACNA is a MASNA managed event, designed to be an immersive single day experience which encompasses key events from a MACNA conference, in a smaller, bite sized interval for all.

After the huge success of MACNA 2020 Phoenix Rising and positive feedback from our sponsors and attendees, MASNA realized the potential of continuing with the online format in the future. mini MACNA will allow MASNA to provide additional recurring outreach to advance marine aquarium education through an ongoing series of informational webinars and meetups to build the community.

Utilizing the Zoom video conferencing solution, MASNA is bringing the Education, Trade, and Community of MACNA to the safety of our homes through mini MACNA.

mini MACNA is a one day event featuring three speakers, one workshop, one panel discussion, three community meet-ups, one giveaway session, and a evening ā€˜socialā€™.
