Hong Kong - The third edition of the Asian Seafood Exposition will take place 11-13 September, 2012 in Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The exposition will once again connect retail, foodservice, and distribution buyers with suppliers of live, fresh, frozen and packaged seafood products and services looking to access the prosperous Asia-Pacific and Hong Kong seafood market.Last year's exposition attracted more than 150 exhibiting companies from 23 countries, and over 4,500 buyers from 50 countries. Additional growth is expected at this year's event with many exhibiting companies returning for the third installment.

"We are very pleased with the exhibit growth the event is experiencing this year," said Mary Larkin, Vice President of Seafood Expositions at Diversified Business Communications, the company that produces the Asian Seafood Exposition. "The international presence for the 2012 event has grown and includes new country representation from Scotland, Ecuador, and France," Larkin said.

Returning this year to the exposition is the Key Buyer program, an exclusive program that specifically targets top-level buyers with volume seafood purchasing responsibility in multi-unit retail, hospitality, government and foodservice establishments.

The Asian Seafood Exposition will be held in conjunction with
