Seafood Expo Asia moves online with Seafood Expo Asia Reconnect

September 24, 2020 — Seafood Expo Asia, an annual seafood trade show produced by Diversified Communications, has announced its 2020 event will take place online as a three-day “Seafood Exo Asia Reconnect” experience 17 to 19 November, 2020.

Seafood Expo Asia, which has taken place in the past in Hong Kong, was set to move to Singapore this year, but the coronavirus pandemic put a pause on those plans. Instead, Diversified Communications said it has created “a digital solution to connect seafood buyers throughout Asia with suppliers from around the world.”

Fisheries Forum in Boston – March 14

February 10, 2020 — The following was released by the Southeastern Fisheries Association:

The Southeastern Fisheries Association has been working to defend, protect, and enhance the commercial fishing industry in the southeastern United States since its establishment in 1952.

The issues affecting the industry vary from region to region, based on the geographical areas of the US with commercial fishing groups. We intend to connect with organizations like ours – and yours – to discuss plans and ideas for the future of US commercial fishing as a whole.

SFA invites your organization to join us for a conversation on the current and future state of the US commercial fishing industry at the inaugural Fisheries Forum, for those in your group that are attending the Seafood Expo. We have drafted a few topics to get the conversation started and welcome your suggestions to be considered for discussion at this event in Boston.

Some topics of discussion include:

  • What does the future of commercial fishing look like?
  • What is working – what is not?
  • What are your biggest challenges in today’s environment?
  • How do we establish timely disaster and assistance funding?
  • What can WE as an industry do to effect positive change?

We hope you will come share your thoughts, ideas and success stories with us on Saturday, March 14 at 3:00pm at the Westin Boston Waterfront. Together, we can pave a way forward for the US Commercial Fishing Industry.

Let us know if you have any questions/comments by sending an email to Laurie@SFAonline.org for the quickest response. If you prefer, we can also set up a phone call.

Thanks so much and we hope you’ll join us in Boston for this free event.
