This year the AIK conference will have a fantastic speaker, directly from Argentina, in the form of Martin Fourcade.
Below, a small introduction by Martin himself:
“I was born in Buenos Aires in December 1971 and right from a young age I became interested in the aquarium hobby. For more than 25 years now I have dedicated myself to the care and breeding of Killifish.
I am a passionate collector and observer of nature and living in a such a vast country, I have had the good fortune to explore its immenseness and to see first hand it’s geographic and cultural diversity.
I’m an amateur photographer, apprentice carpenter, activist for a number of worthy causes and a naturally curious person.”
