World Aquaculture 2020 was rescheduled to November 29-December 2, 2022 at the same venue, Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Center in Singapore, changing its name to World Aquaculture Singapore 2022.  

“Although there have been improvements in Singapore and around the world regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still many uncertainties about its future. New waves of infection and low vaccination rates in some parts of the world, including the Asian Pacific region, are some of our concerns. At this time, the current safety management measures (SMM) for MICE event pilots in Singapore are still quite stringent and not conducive to the meeting format that we have in mind.  Furthermore, it is not yet certain that international travel will be possible, which is essential to the success of our event,” the organization said. “As the leading international business platform, World Aquaculture Singapore 2022, the meeting point for the aquaculture industry, it is imperative for the safety of our exhibitors, visitors and business partners to comply with the vaccination regimen and test strategies that have and will be implemented around the world to attend WA Singapore 2022.”  

All attendees and exhibitors who have registered and abstract submissions that have been accepted won’t need to be resubmitted. The abstract deadline has been moved to September 1, 2022, and the new early registration dates will be updated.
