We cordially invite you to 22nd Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister’s Conference 2020. New this year, we are partnering with the Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia’s Seafarmer’s Conference.
The overarching theme of the conference is quality. Four key pillars supporting that are:
- Technology /Innovation

The conference is continuing to grow with the addition of partners and more industry and businesses attending the conference. This year we will feature more international speakers and members of the fishing and aquaculture industry from Nova Scotia. This is a MUST ATTEND EVENT for the fisheries and aquaculture industries. This is an opportunity to learn the latest global seafood trends, talk to fishers, processors and sea farmers about their needs and spend time discovering new opportunities for growth and profits. We invite you to join us in what promises to be the largest Minister’s/Seafarmers Conference to date!
