Speakers

Gregory J. Fischer

"RASTECH 2023 was a great conference and gave me a chance to interact with many of the movers and shakers in Recirculating Aquaculture.  It was great to see and connect with all the pertinent RAS researchers and equipment providers as well that we are working with to help design and build some of the most state-of-the-art facilities doing RAS around North America."

Megan Sorby

Operations manager at Kingfish Maine and editorial advisor to RAStech Magazine

“From site selection and investment appetite from equity firms to brand development and marketing your product, RASTECH focuses on the whole process but specifically on what operators need. It is a fantastic opportunity to network and openly share lessons learned so that we can collectively advance the industry."

Sam HJ Kim
