Seafood Summit 2009
Sharing Responsibility for Real Change
Hilton San Diego Resort
San Diego, California
1-3 February 2009
From February 1-3, Seafood Choices Alliance's Seafood Summit 2009 "Sharing Responsibility for Real Change " brought together 475 representatives from 32 countries attended the three-day conference, making it the most well-attended Summit ever.
While many trade shows offer companies networking opportunities to showcase their products and services, Seafood Summit is the only venue that connects large and small companies from a diverse array of industries with leaders from the conservation community to bridge the gap between the latest science and the reality of the seafood marketplace.
