Hi Aquaponics Association,
I tried to click on the link to the webinar again and it says it’s ‘private’ . I did join as a member. I am just wondering if I did something wrong? I saw your video with the funny cat. I will wait if it’s just a time thing but I don’t know if there is something I am not doing?
Cheers,
Jessie

Is it limited to the “ and access to the members area.” as in affiliate member maybe?

[jon]

@bjelkeman yes that means the paid membership. You can see details here and the signup is here

[bjelkeman]

Yeah, but the description of “the member area” doesn’t really say much. If it is another empty dis ussion forum where nothing of substance gets said it isn’t really worth the cost difference between General and Affiliate. Marketing space and social media posts aren’t that useful to me.

Our board focuses on creating engaging discussion in four working groups: Community, Commercial, Research and STEM. This year we also started release webinars and videos related to the latest developments in the industry. This is part of the paid membership.

Cheers!
