The 26th edition of Seafood Expo Global and the 20th edition of Seafood Processing Global, produced by Diversified Communications, will take place in Brussels, Belgium, from 24 to 26 April 2018.
This annual global event attracts seafood buyers and suppliers from around the world and hosts the prestigious Seafood Excellence Awards.
Last year’s event saw more than 28,500 seafood professionals attending the exposition from over 150 countries, making it the largest edition in the event’s history.
According to event organisers, next month’s event will feature more exhibit space than last year’s edition, and it is on track to maximise the entire footprint available for the event.
“It’s so exciting to see companies’ growing interest in participating in the event,” says Wynter Courmont, Event Director for Diversified Communications.
“Records are meant to be broken. At this time, we are still receiving requests to exhibit in this year’s edition, and the event has surpassed last year’s numbers in terms of exhibit space by more than 1,000 square metres,” Courmont added.
