PORTLAND, ME (USA), May 26 (Korea Bizwire) – The 2020 edition of Seafood Expo Asia will take place from 18 – 20 November in Singapore at the Singapore EXPO, Hall 2 and will be co-located with Asia Fruit Logistica.

Seafood Expo Asia, the seafood marketplace for Asia, produced by Diversified Communications, connects more than 7500 global suppliers and buyers each year providing industry professionals the opportunity to source all types of seafood products and services, as well as to learn and explore the latest trends in seafood.

“Moving to Singapore this year will provide our exhibitors and buyers the opportunity to connect and further explore business potential throughout Asia,” said Liz Plizga, Group Vice President, Diversified Communications. “The decision is based on feedback from our customers on the potential of the Asian seafood market. Our third-party research also reaffirmed the growing need for buyers in these markets to meet international seafood suppliers.”

Staging the event in Singapore will reinforce Seafood Expo Asia’s positioning in connecting international seafood suppliers and Asian buyers in the epicenter of the robust seafood markets. Singapore is an important business hub for global trade, its geographic location enables easy access to over 400 cities worldwide.

Hosting the event later in the year, and as the Asian economy re-opens, presents the opportunity for seafood suppliers and buyers to capture year-end business and prepare for the year ahead.

“We are pleased that Diversified Communications has chosen Singapore to host Seafood Expo Asia in 2020 and are committed to working closely with them towards a successful event. Singapore has a strong reputation as a preferred destination for business events and we are confident in the long-term prospects of the industry. We look forward to welcoming the delegates to Singapore in November,” commented Andrew Phua, Executive Director of Exhibitions and Conferences, Singapore Tourism Board.

“We are proud to be playing host to Seafood Expo Asia at Singapore EXPO & MAX Atria for the first time. With the necessary hygiene and precautionary measures put in place, we are committed to providing the organizers, exhibitors and attendees a safe and comfortable environment where they can network and forge new partnerships at ease. Located within the global node of Asia, it is an honor for us in Singapore to be giving the seafood community a space and platform where they can grow their businesses. We look forward to welcoming all of them in November,” said Alvin Lim, Executive Director, Brand & Customer Experience, SingEx Holdings.
