SharkCon is back and for the biggest event yet. We have had to move to the bigger Expo Hall (but the same location The Florida State Fairgrounds). This year we have added more exhibits, like the Monster Jam truck Megalodon, ZooTampa, Pinellas Utilities, Pirate Bounce House, Shark Tooth Sand Dig, and new activities from out conservation partners. Our presenting sponsor, The Florida Aquarium will be bringing a special activity everyone will love! We worked really hard to expand the educational aspect of this year's event.
In addition, we have added Media guests this year. We have the stars of Jaws(including Richard Dreyfuss!) and Sharknado on hand to sign autographs, take pictures and talk about their movies.
Our speaker list is amazing this year: Stephanie Arne - Host of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Paul Watson - founder of Sea Shepherd, Forrest Galante - host of Animal Planet's Extinct or Alive, Jillian Morris Brake - Discovery Channel's Shark Week, Chris Schreiber - director of sharks & invertebrates at The Georgia Aquarium, Stuart Cove - Hollywood Shark Wrangler, Ken Kiefer - award winning photographer, Jennifer Schmidt - director of research at The Shark Research Institute, Tanya Houpermanns - award winning sand tiger shark photographer, Alex Suh - founder of Save My Fins, George Probst - award winning great white shark photographer, and Mallory Lindsay - host of Ms Mallory's Adventures.
