The Global Shrimp Forum opened registration for its second annual event. The forum, which takes place from September 5-7 at the Van der Valk Hotel, Utrecht, the Netherlands, will welcome over 400 high-level executives from across the globe, representing the entire shrimp value chain.

Last year’s event covered a whole range of topics and featured an array of speakers, with seminars covering innovation and technology, market and retail outlook and legal and regulatory challenges within the shrimp industry.

The 2023 event will feature an improved program with seminars spread across all three days and more detailed Q&A sessions. The forum will provide over 25 hours of high-quality content and offer delegates the chance to network with existing and new peers from across the industry.

Willem van der Pijl, joint founder of the Global Shrimp Forum said, “we are delighted to share the news that the Global Shrimp Forum is returning for its second event in 2023 and that early-bird registration is now open. Preparations for this year’s event are well underway, and we are thrilled to announce that more than 35 companies have already confirmed as sponsors for this year, including Aqua-Spark, Avanti, Chicken of the Sea, Devi Seafoods, Maruha Nichiro, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation, Omarsa, Rabobank, Sandhya Aqua, Seafood Connection, Skretting, Songa, Thai Union, Vitapro, and many others. We were overwhelmed by the amount of positive feedback we received from 2022, with 98% of the 160 attendees we surveyed rating the forum as 4 or 5 stars out of 5. We can’t wait to welcome previous and new attendees to the forum this year and do even better.”
