In Boston March 16-18 Seafood Expo North America/Seafood
Processing North America is North America’s largest seafood trade
exposition.
The annual trade show that brings the world
to Boston Convention and Exhibition Center is considered one of the best
annual shows for business leads, business decisions, and just plain fun.
The event includes discovering, sampling and
sourcing products; meeting with current or new suppliers; networking with
industry colleagues; and so much more!
Boston is attended by logistics companies
including United Cargo (Booth 469) and Delta Cargo (1875), Alaska Air Cargo
(1064), Southwest Cargo (1181), TAP Air Portugal Cargo (2477) DB Schenker
(2073) Lineage (365) and some others and will be well stocked wall-to-wall
with decision-makers from all parts of the food chain.
There are manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers,
shipping experts, and container manufacturers everywhere at this event.
But the real kicker here for attendees in
addition to meeting up with colleagues in air cargo perishables from Scotland
to the Cone of Chile, as mentioned, will be an endless supply of exhibitors
offering up samples of some of the best dining imaginable.
What a scene!
Twenty-ounce
draft in one hand, skewered shrimp in the other, Zantac within reach, then
after two days of on the hoof delights, and hopefully some business, back
to the airplane, ready to take on the world.
“We get very positive feedback from
every group involved in the show,” said Diversified Business Communications-North
America, a third-generation, family-owned business based in Maine that produces
the Boston event and other seafood expos annually around the world.
“This event is always a great forum
for us to generate leads and showcase our product, and we are looking forward
to another great event,” said Jan Krems, President of United Cargo
and VP United Airlines.
“Seafood is a substantial part of our
fresh business, so we recognize that activity as very valuable to us, as
it represents a large group of shippers, distributors, and freight forwarders
that are specialized in the seafood trade.”
A much anticipated part of the show are the
more than 30 organized meetings and “how-to” sessions, providing
seafood conferees a look at the latest value-added products, new species,
packaging and services.
Another nice tradition comes at the close
of the show, when 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 The Greater Boston Food Bank.
