Mar 15 2026

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT

Room 153CB

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. With the impact of last year’s tariffs still playing out, volatile fuel costs, and slower-than-hoped inflation relief, North American and global seafood supply chains are entering another period of stress and opportunity. In this keynote, economist and geopolitical strategist Dr. Nomi Prins offers a pragmatic economic outlook for 2026, tailored to the North American seafood sector. She’ll explore how macro forces from U.S.-China trade tensions to E.U. regulatory shifts, energy price volatility, AI integration, and consumer price sensitivity are reshaping cost structures, sourcing strategies, and regional demand. Whether you’re exporting crab, farming salmon, or scaling cold-chain logistics, Prins will provide a grounded framework for how seafood leaders can adapt – and lead – through the realities of the year ahead.
