ASH Bash: Rubbing Fins with Fishes and Friends

Monday, December 10, 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

In addition to the educational and scientific experience, another critical component of the ASH meeting is the outstanding opportunity to make new acquaintances from around the world, renew long-held friendships, and mingle with experts and leaders in the field. Attendees are invited to take a well-earned break from the intensive lectures and program sessions to enjoy an exciting evening of fun and networking at the ASH Bash, to be held in the beautiful Georgia Aquarium.

At this reception, attendees will enjoy scrumptious hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and relaxing classical music with their friends and colleagues in a casual atmosphere. Attendees may also fully explore this unique venue. The Georgia Aquarium is the world’s largest, with eight million gallons of fresh and marine water and more than 100,000 animals representing 500 species worldwide.
