Currently, we have confirmed the following presentations and vendor displays:

• River fishing boats

• Paper packaging for fish products
• Mobile cold storage trailers
• Tribal fishery updates
• Cold water survival
• HAACP updates and news

There are more topics and vendors we're working on securing and this list will grow as the Expo approaches.
