The goal of the Seafood Congress organizers is to build on existing and create new partnerships between IAFI members and all seafood professionals and specialists to benefit global seafood trade. It also aims to profile innovation in seafood and provide opportunities for maximum participation by all economies involved in seafood trade – including developed and developing economies. This is accomplished through various means throughout the international event– expert panels, debates, workshops and formal presentations.
