An on-demand video of the 2026 Seafood Expo North America (SENA) conference session "Murky Waters, Rough Seas, and More of Them: Navigating the New Trade Era" is available free for SeafoodSource Premium members and for USD 500 (EUR 425) to non-members through the Conference Program On-Demand.
Featuring Arlin Wasserman, managing director of Changing Tastes, the session was advertised as follows:
How can we make decision and deals in an unprecedented era of trade volatility and in a U.S. market that is challenged by self-inflicted obstacles?
Outside disruptions to supply chains have moved from episodic to systemic. Ongoing geopolitical instability, climate-related shocks, trade policy shifts, and more are creating an unpredictable landscape that’s challenging even the most robust sourcing strategies and novel contrasting arrangements.
For the seafood industry and the food industry overall, the stakes are high: compromised continuity, rising costs, and growing food safety and compliance risks.
We can speak about the problem, but what are the keys to sourcing and merchandise and menu selection in the new era and what are the “silver linings” or at least consolation prizes?
Find out how to be a winner, or at least a better loser, in the challenging year ahead.
The more than 30 individual presentations from this year's SENA featured exclusive information and insights from seafood industry experts on a range of topics, including sustainability solutions and how the sector can best navigate current economic, energy, and trade policies.
