º£½ÇÊÓƵ

The º£½ÇÊÓƵ Seafood Summit remains in the Humber for 2019, having graduated from a regional event to a national conference last time out.

DoubleTree by Hilton Forest Pines Hotel will once again host the two day industry gathering, following residencies at Cleethorpes Pier and Grimsby's Humber Royal Hotel and Humber Seafood Institute.

And coming just a fortnight before the º£½ÇÊÓƵ could leave the EU, the theme is The Responsible Seafood Economy: Looking Forward – Responding to Change.

Last year's agenda was dominated by Brexit, with the first March deadline then on the horizon. But a double delay sees another event come before the potentially seismic move for the seafood industry - with tariffs, stock control, territorial waters, friction-free borders and labour all concerns.

Organised by Seafish, the public body that supports the £10 billion º£½ÇÊÓƵ seafood industry, it brings together a panel of respected speakers and delegates to discuss and debate the burning issues in the global seafood industry.

The 2019 event, on October 16 and October 17, will cover:

• Supplies - exploring the changing nature of seafood sourcing
• Operations - innovation in technology; evolution of the workforce
• Markets - the shifting interests of consumers

Key players are drawn in from the seafood industry, including processors, distributors, foodservice and retail operators, and is open to all businesses and organisations with an interest in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ seafood industry.

Delegates can register now.
