Diversified Communications, the company that produces Seafood Expo Southern Europe in partnership with Alimentaria Exhibitions, announced today that it is postponing and reevaluating the format of the event Seafood Expo Southern Europe. As a result, it has decided that the 4th edition of Seafood Expo Southern Europe, which was planned for 21-23 September 2015, will not take place. Issues around the event dates and appropriate timing in the marketplace were the major factors for this decision.
“We sincerely appreciate the participation of our customers over the past three editions,” says Liz Plizga, group vice president for Diversified Communications. “This decision is based on feedback from customers who expressed having challenges around the event dates.”
