Plans are well underway for World Aquaculture 2014 Adelaide (WAA14).
“The theme for the
conference is ‘Create, Nurture, Grow’ which reflects the dynamic nature of aquaculture
development in the region” said WAA14 Chairman, Dr Graham Mair.
“Agreeing the theme early
on has given us a head start and we have a number of strong teams already
working on a range of conference development tasks and we are confident that,
with the support the event is receiving from industry and government, this will
be an exciting and rewarding event.” added Graham.
A booth is being supported
by both the World Aquaculture Society and the Adelaide Convention Bureau at the
forthcoming Aquaculture America Conference/Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee specifically
to promote WAA14. The booth will
highlight both the diverse aquaculture activities and the wonderful tourism attractions
of South Australia and Australia more broadly. Additionally there are a range
of planned meetings, competitions and promotions in Nashville targeted at engaging
the many delegates who will be there.
The websites and other
promotional activities are planned to kick start after the USA event. The
Program Committee headed by Professor Jose Fernandez-Polanco and Dr Jenny
Cobcroft have their Call for Papers ready to roll out soon after the conference.
Workshops and tours, both
pre and post conference, will be featured additions to the strong conference
program in Adelaide and they will include important activities for farmers,
researchers and students alike.
Dr Mair emphasised “We are
grateful for the support we are receiving from all our sponsors and the
willingness of the many organisers to put in time and effort to develop the
wide range of planned activities. I am certain that the end result will be
excellent and memorable experience for delegates and we look forward to seeing
everyone in Adelaide in June 2014.”
