Many delegates have already taken advantage of the early bird booking rate for the first AQA Conference to be held on the 18 September 2009, Vigo, Spain.
Delegates from afar afield as New Zealand, Australia and from across Europe will be attending the conference that is aimed at small to medium sized fleet owners looking to expand into marine aquaculture. But anyone wanting an update on the latest aquaculture technology and innovation, research and development plus invaluable information on funding for this fast-growing sector should book their place now!
The Conference will be held alongside the inaugural AQA (Aqua farming International) Exhibition at the World Fishing Exhibition (16-19 September 2009) - the world's largest commercial fishing exhibition and is supported by the European Aquaculture Society (EAS), the Spanish Marine Fish Farmers Association (APROMAR) and the Spanish Aquaculture Society (SEA). The AQA Conference also enjoys the support of IPAC Magazine and of Panorama Acuicola, as the Ibero-American sponsoring journal. The Conference will conclude with a networking drinks reception after which delegates will be able to visit AQA 2009 Exhibition and World Fishing Exhibition.
The Conference speakers are all key industry figures, a line-up that is unlikely to be seen anywhere else this year and include: Dr Selina Stead, President of the European Aquaculture Society, Gustavo Larrazábal, President of Tinamenor Group, Spain and Chairman, European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform, Jean-Claude Cueff, Head of Unit, Aquaculture, DG MARE, European Commission, John Dallimore, Operations Director, TNC Partners, Hamburg, and Gema Chicharro Santos, Studies & Research, Agroseguro, Spain.
