About the exhibition
This long-running event started in 1984 and has, since the first exhibition, more than doubled in size. The three year cycle of the show is a direct response to the wishes of the exhibiting companies, as it ensures they have new products on display at each event.
Even in the face of economic turmoil, the last show in 2008 proved yet another success: nearly 500 companies from 33 countries exhibited and the show enjoyed an attendance of 12,429 from 50 countries including 75 VIP’s and delegations from Canada and Ecuador.
The introduction of VIP delegations in 2008 proved such a hit with exhibitors that the organisers, Mercator Media Limited, will expand on this for the 2011 show by working closely with exhibitors and major organisations in Iceland, to ensure the attendance of key industry figures.
In addition, new for 2011, will be an ecolabelling and traceability seminar provisionally entitled ‘Icelandic Responsible Fisheries Programme’. This will be organised by Promote Iceland and held alongside the exhibition in association with The Fisheries Association of Iceland.
The exhibition covers every aspect of the commercial fishing industry from catching and locating to processing and packaging, right through to marketing and distribution of the final product.
