AquaVision is the world’s premier aquaculture business conference, with a focused program touching the most relevant topics within the industry. AquaVision attracts a diverse range of stakeholders to Stavanger every two years. The conference, organised by Skretting and its parent company Nutreco since 1996, has established itself as an important meeting place for some 450 participants each year from more than 40 countries.
