02/01/14: Aqua success in Vietnam - it's official

International Aquafeed publisher Roger Gilbert (L)
was in Vietnam for APA 2013

The APA2013 meeting in HCMC, Vietnam, was a huge success, according to its organisers,
the World Aquaculture Society (WAS).

"We had planned originally for about 1300 participants, five sessions and 40 booths.

"Over the course of the planning we increased the size of the trade show to over 100 booths and increased the number

of sessions to nine. And participation followed this trend with over 2500 participants.

"Overall trade show participants expressed their happiness with the number and variety of people coming to the show," says Mario Stael, assistant director of Conference, WAS.

APA13 extended its thanks to Uni President APA13's Gold Sponsor; Biomin APA13's Silver Sponsor and the three major WAS premier sponsors of Novus, Tyson and Alltech.

"These session sponsors helped to bring in some top key speakers at each session," adds Mr Stael. Session sponsors also included USSEC, Dabomb, Pharmaq, Evonik and Pentair.
