The International flavor of the IAFI WSC is proudly promoted by the membership involving all major seafood producing countries and has the kind support of both FAO and UNIDO. The conference starts with two days of workshops on the issues that affect the seafood industry, followed by the main conference over three days, with a technical tour on the final day. This year's program will attract top quality speakers from the seafood industry in every corner of the globe.
The Fall season in Washington DC is a perfect time to visit and experience America's Capital city - the city that makes history happen. In the Fall, Congress is back in session and the children are back in school - meaning fewer tourists and shorter lines for attractions! The Fall foliage is in full color and the temperatures are pleasantly cool.
The venue is the Omni Shoreham hotel with very reasonable room rates for conference participants. The prestigious hotel, host to presidents, world leaders and inaugural balls, is set in 11 acres of parkland just 5 miles out of the city center.
Getting to Washington couldn't be easier with worldwide connections from three nearby airports.
