SEAFOOD EXPO NORTH AMERICA POSTPONED

Seafood Expo North America postponed – Diversified Communications, producers of Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America, announced that it is postponing the 40^th edition of the expo that was scheduled to take place March 15-17, 2020.

After many weeks of monitoring the evolving situation around COVID-19 and evaluating the full spectrum of feedback received among hundreds of calls and emails, Diversified Communications has decided that the 40^th edition of Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America will not take place as scheduled in March and is postponed while looking at other options.

This decision has been difficult because of the major importance of this event to the industry. “We heard from those of you who were concerned about health, safety and travel restrictions, and given the short time before the scheduled event date, and upcoming logistics, we have determined that postponement at this time is unavoidable,” said Liz Plizga, Group Vice President, Diversified Communications.

“We are committed to finding a solution to deliver an event in North America, this year, to ensure business continuity to the seafood industry,” added Plizga.  Details on when and where will be communicated directly with customers in the next month. Depending on date and location availability, the event might look slightly different for 2020 but will continue to provide the opportunities to connect suppliers and buyers in the industry.
