The Aquaculture Canada and WAS North America 2022 in-person conference is officially set to take place August 15-18, 2022, at the St. John’s Convention Centre, in the city of St. John’s, Newfoundland. With eight conference rooms, the three-day conference program will include all aspects of aquaculture activity from farm to table.
Thanks to the partnership between the Aquaculture Association of Canada (AAC), World Aquaculture Society (WAS) and the Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association (NAIA), the conference will bring key global aquaculture players together in Newfoundland and Labrador.
“Event organizers and industry partners are thrilled to be working together to bring the Aquaculture Canada and WAS North America 2022 conference to Newfoundland and Labrador, a province that has become a global beacon for responsible aquaculture growth and opportunities,” said John Cooksey, WAS Conference Manager.
“We are planning an exciting four days of events in St. John’s for industry participants from all parts of the sector,” he added.
“The trade show has a few booths remaining – but with excitement at an all-time high, more than 90 per cent of the exhibition space has already been sold. All exhibitors will have an opportunity to host their staff, customers, and conference delegates at the trade show.“
Event organizers told in a press release that they wish to recognize and thank the sponsors (to date) for the event, including Diamond sponsors: Poultry Protein & Fat Council, and TD Commercial Banking.
