ReefSMART is an exposition put on by the non-profit organization Sustainable Reef. Usually bi-annually, (we have been known to slip in a third show) the expo consists of business vendors, manufacturers, hobbyist sellers - also cool DIY demos and round-table style talks with local experts. In a nutshell, ReefSMART brings the best of the best from the carolinas and beyond - all to one place for your convenience!
There is always some kind of free swag handed out at the door to attendees (about 400 - 500 of them so far, but we get more every show) usually a door bag with sponsor logos on them that are stuffed with goodies. Hydrometers, putty sticks, fish food - no telling what we will have at the next one! Of course, no ReefSMART is complete without a super raffle - sometimes there are so many items that the raffle is running all day! You always get a free door ticket when you come in, but for just a few dollars you can play big, and maybe win that calcium reactor that you have had your eye on.
Since Sustainable Reef is non-profit, all the work for ReefSMART is done by volunteer staff. Any profits made from the show is put aside for use in later expos - to fly in speakers for a national event, get T-shirts - whatever the kitty allows for. If you would like to be a part of the expo, we have many jobs available - just contact expo@sustainablereef.com for details!
See you at the show!
