The show is organized by Diversified Communication (organizers of the Boston Seafood Show and the West Coast Seafood Show). ESE is now the largest seafood show in the world. Every year, more than 92% of the European Seafood Exposition's (ESE) exhibitors return-confirming ESE as the most powerful sales and positioning tool available to the industry. ESE normally features more than 1,400 exhibitors and attracts visitors from over 100 countries, including the decision-makers and purchasers who dominate the seafood industry in Europe and around the world: importers, exporters, and wholesalers; institutional, military, and chain buyers; value-added processors and more.

The Canada pavilion at the ESE, serves to bring together Canadian companies and builds on our reputation as a supplier of quality seafood products. Canadian exhibitors will benefit from the pavilion's complete turnkey booths supported by pre-show publicity and promotion, on-site professional logistical management and the services of a Canadian chef for product demonstrations.

The all-inclusive fee for participating in the Canada pavilion for a turnkey booth is CDN $8,500. Booth selection will be on a first-come, first-served basis upon payment.
