Seafood congress a truly global event

The tenth World Seafood Congress saw delegates from 23 countries arrive in Grimsby last month for five days of talks and workshops addressing global seafood industry issues.

Almost 300 industry leaders, seafood professionals and academics took up residence in the historic fishing town to hear from 94 speakers on issues including sustainability, trade, ethics and industry skills, with new findings and reports revealed exclusively to the congress’ delegates.

On the final day of the event, Reykjavík, Iceland was announced as the venue for the 2017 congress. Matís, the Icelandic government research company for the food and biotechnology industries, will play host.
