As the conference organiser, AOG’s responsibilities include budget management, marketing and communications, venue management, event management, exhibition management, sponsorships, and travel requirements for delegates.
Anne-Marie Quinn, AOG’s CEO, said: “We will be working alongside the WFC2020 Steering Committee to bring an expected 1,500 national and international delegates to Adelaide to learn about and foster cooperation in fisheries science, conservation and management. We anticipate that similar to the 2014 World Aquaculture Conference, delegates will also visit South Australia’s regional fisheries and aquaculture sites.”
“Delegates will enjoy insightful presentations, information on the latest technological advances in fisheries and an inspiring forum for debate and discussion on critical developments needed to ensure the future sustainable development of the world’s oceans and rivers,” added Quinn.
