The Original Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition Returns
(ICELAND, 4/27/2022)
A must-attend event for all commercial fisheries organisations and associated businesses, Icefish 2022 is set to host the latest developments from the industry showcasing new and innovative products and services, covering every aspect of the commercial fishing industry.
From locating, catching, processing and packaging, right through to the marketing and distribution of the end product, the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition offers an unrivalled platform. The 2022 exhibition is already over 90% booked, ready to welcome an abundance of returning loyal companies, but also a long list of first time exhibitors from both Iceland and overseas.
Following many months of pandemic restrictions this June’s Icefish will provide exhibitors with the long overdue facility for multiple face to face business meetings in one place.
Large National pavilions will be present from Denmark, Norway, Faroe Islands and new for this exhibition, Spain.
Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling, Events Director, Mercator Media Ltd – Icefish organisers, commented "Icefish 2022 will offer an unparalleled platform in a rapid changing world. As the leading commercial fishing exhibition in the North, Icefish is proven to be the perfect platform to showcase the strength and innovation of the fishing industry. I am very much looking forward to see the exhibition make its spectacular return in June".
Icefish has also launched a new virtual exhibition and community platform, which will give exhibitors in June a reach, far beyond the face to face experience in the exhibition halls over the 3 show days.
