They Got The Seafood, Mama
     Seafood Expo North America and Seafood Processing North America will soon launch its annual show next week (March 19-21, 2017) at Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts, one of the best annual shows for business leads, business decisions, and just plain fun. The events boasts more than 19,000 visitors and 1,000 exhibits from more than 100 countries.

Business & Orders For Transportation

      Seafood Expo is wall-to-wall decision-makers from all parts of the food chain.
      There are manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, shipping experts, and container manufacturers by the score at Boston Seafood Expo.

Dining On The Hoof

      In addition to meeting up with guys in air cargo perishables from the world over—Scotland to the Cone of Chile—Seafood Expo exhibitors offer up samples of some of the best dining on the hoof imaginable.
      What a scene.
      Twenty-ounce draft in one hand, skewered shrimp in the other, Zantac within reach, then back to the airplane ready to take on the world.

Bigger Every Year

      “We’ve had very positive feedback from every group involved in the show,” Liz Plizga, Group Vice Presdient, Diversified Business Communications, the company that produces the event, told FlyingTypers.
      “The seafood community recognizes that the Boston Seafood Expo consistently provides the most progressive and comprehensive forum for knowledge-exchange and networking.
      “Boston Seafood Expo is not only a show with a great history, it is one of the most effective marketing tools for reaching the seafood business community,” she said.
      “Reports state 91 percent of seafood in the United States is imported from other countries, showing promise to international companies looking to expand their foothold. Regionally, there is notable influx in new participation from Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, Morocco, and Spain,” Liz Plizga said.

Doing The Most Good

      “This event provide[s] an opportunity to meet with a great deal of potential customers in a very short period of time,” said Soren Kaplan, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of the book Leapfrogging.

New Products

      A much anticpated part of the Boston Seafood Expo is The New Product Conference, providing seafood buyers a look at the latest value-added products, new species, packaging, and services.
      A panel of industry buyers screens products based on uniqueness and appropriateness to the market and chooses several winners from various categories for the Annual Seafood Excellence Awards (SEA).

Donations To Help The Needy

      Another nice tradition at Seafood Expo comes at the close of the show. Hundreds of exhibiting companies donate more than 20,000 pounds of fresh seafood leftover from the show, providing many thousands of meals for hungry men, women, and children throughout Eastern Massachusetts via the Greater Boston Food Bank.  
      The National Fisheries Institute is the official sponsor of the Seafood Expo North America and Seafood Processing North America.
