The third edition of Seafood Expo Southern Europe, formerly titled Seafood Barcelona, has already surpassed its exhibit space compared to last year and is expected to keep growing.
The show, produced by Diversified Communications, the parent company of SeafoodSource, is scheduled for 22 to 24 September at the Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via fairground in Barcelona, Spain. So far, confirmed exhibitors will represent more than 24 countries, with seafood professionals from more than 40 countries expected to attend.
The show is geared toward connecting buyers with suppliers of live, fresh, frozen, value-added, processed and packaged seafood, as well as processing and packaging equipment, with a focus on Mediterranean markets.
“Barcelona is an ideal location for the exposition as it is a centrally-located major port and trade hub,” said Liz Plizga, Show Director for Diversified Communications, the company that produces the exposition. The city’s economic, social and cultural influence extends throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. “Its convenient access and business opportunities are some of the appealing factors for attendees.”
The event will feature a variety of activities, including a master class series on specific seafood species, culinary demonstrations, a new product showcase, a fish market tour, a conference program, and business matchmaking and hosted buyer programs.
Also returning this year is the Hosted Buyer program, a program for top-level buyers with high-volume seafood purchasing power in multi-unit retail, hospitality and foodservice establishments.
