April 2026

New Info for 2026!

  • If you have a catering vehicle that needs to access Fira Barcelona Gran Via during exposition days for catering services ONLY you must complete the Catering Vehicle Access Form before the deadline (Monday 30 March) to obtain written approval from the Event Organizers. Vehicles will have a 2hr max access and staff will need to register. More information will be provided with the written approval.

All exhibitors are required to submit the Stand Approval Form. Review the Design Regulations for your stand type and submit this form ASAP as we have passed the deadline! Make sure to include renderings with measurements for all fixtures, components, and signage in the stand design.

All exhibitors have been sent an invitation email from Seafood Expo Global ([email protected]) with a link to the Digital Platform Exhibitor Center (accessible on both desktop & mobile). Please login using the link provided in the email to update your company profile. You can also visit the Digital Platform to login. Contact Customer Service if you experience issues logging in.

If you are a Lead Exhibitor and will be sharing your stand with Co-Exhibitors, please submit the Co-Exhibitor Form for each company as soon as possible. Processing Co-exhibitors takes up to 3 business days.

To submit, log in to the Exhibitor Resource Center and click on the Submit Co-Exhibitors link on the homepage. If you have not logged in yet, click here and follow the instructions to create or reset your password.

For login issues or to re-send your Stand Confirmation email, contact [email protected].

Visit Exhibitor Registration to register for your exhibitor badges. All lead & co-exhibiting companies within the same stand SHARE 5 complimentary badges per 10m2 stand. Additional badges will be charged 48€ per badge. If you need your login password re-sent, please email  [email protected]. If you are a Co-Exhibiting company please contact your lead exhibitor for the password to register. 

In an effort to make the entry process more efficient, we have moved to a digital badge and print from home format. You will now have the option to print your badge from home or download the digital badge in advance of the event. Additional information and instructions will be sent closer to the event. Your Print from Home and digital badge registration options will be emailed to you one month before the event (the week of 23 March).

All stand builders, exhibitors, contractors, and related personnel who need access to Fira Barcelona starting on Thursday 16 April are REQUIRED to have official credentials with them at all times. Make sure to have your ID as it will be required upon entering the venue. There are two types of acceptable credentials.

  1. Official Seafood Expo Global/Seafood Processing Global Exhibitor Badge.
  2. Fira Barcelona Worker Pass. For individuals who will not need access during expo days (contractor staff, etc). you may instead register for a Worker Pass to gain access to Fira during installation and dismantle only. Register for Fira Worker Passes  

All exhibitor eVIP invitations and efforts are at no cost to you – they are included with your exhibit space purchase. You can share your custom link or code with your current or prospect buyers via your social media, email or linked digital ads on your company website. Your custom registration link includes a trackable code which will provide qualified buyers a FREE exhibit hall pass. These invitations should NOT be used to register exhibit stand staff, your vendors or non-exhibiting suppliers. *The exhibitor eVIP code does not discount the non-exhibiting suppliers fee for free Exhibit Hall access. They will be charged 200€ pre-event and 250€ onsite. Non-exhibiting suppliers are attendees whose businesses provide products and services to the seafood industry.

Due to the current geopolitical situation, Diversified is not accepting the participation of companies from Russia or Belarus at the 2026 edition of Seafood Expo Global and Seafood Processing Global.
