This year the conference organisers, the Global Shrimp Forum Foundation (GSFF), are also funding a study to inspire discussion about how to promote global shrimp consumption. The preliminary results of the research will be presented and debated as part of the meeting. During an invite-only lunch, the world’s top producers will also discuss the status of establishing a global shrimp council.
With almost four months still to go, the organisers say that they already have 38 sponsors and eight exhibitors confirmed, but have a few additional sponsorship and exhibitor packages remaining. If you are interested, please contact GSFF.
