The McLean, Virginia-headquartered National Fisheries Institute has announced it will host the 10th Anniversary of the Global Seafood Market Conference (GSMC) in person from January 18-20, 2022 at the Omni Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. The event promises to offer insights and dynamic discussions drawing on the collective knowledge of the seafood industry’s foremost experts.
“NFI is always striving to make GSMC a valuable experience built on industry insights and data,” said Richard Barry, the trade association’s programs director. “We also recognize the need for networking, since this will be the first in-person conference for the seafood industry in 24 months.”
The conference will offer high-level access to expertise, featuring: 210 Analytics, IRI, Datassential, Rabobank and Wells Fargo, as well as new perspectives from voices like Hudson Riehle, the National Restaurant Association’s senior vice president of research and knowledge.
“Escalating operational costs and continued supply chain disruption will remain two of the biggest challenges for the seafood industry in the new year,” said Derek Figueroa, NFI chairman and chief executive officer of the Seattle Fish Company. “Business leaders must make rapid decisions and take immediate actions to sustain operations and serve their customers. The GSMC serves as the preeminent conference providing invaluable analysis and discussions from thought-leaders that will prove critical as our community continues to navigate a global logistics crisis.”
Registration for the event is now open.
