“We’ve been hosting Seafood Expo North America in Boston for four decades, and we look forward to welcoming the seafood community back to the city in July next year,” said David Gibbons, Executive Director, Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
As planning for the July 11-13, 2021 event progresses, Diversified Communications, organizers of Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America, will continue to monitor closely the situation around COVID-19 and work with the venue and the appropriate authorities to ensure the health and safety of our customers, attendees, vendors, employees and local community.
“Until we meet again in Boston, we are thrilled to present our first online conference program, Seafood Expo North America Reconnect that will take place during the week of March 14, 2021,” added Plizga. The conference program will consist of live and pre-recorded educational sessions providing insights on emerging market trends and topics relevant to today’s evolving seafood business environment. “This is a great opportunity for the industry to stay connected, informed and create conversations leading up to the conference program in July.”
