Nor-Fishing 2020 was a resounding success. The international trade fair adapted quickly to the big challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic and organised an entirely digital edition. This way, the Nor-Fishing Foundation did not need to skip an edition and continued the conversation. There are already plans for Nor-Fishing 2022, which will return in August and as a live event. Organisers believe the only way to establish meaningful connections and partnerships is through trade shows held face to face. Trondheim Spektrum will work towards an event concept that creates a fully safe environment and uses all available COVID-19 protective measures in place. Right now there are no official dates released.
For over half a century, Nor-Fishing has been the go-to exhibition for the fishing supply chain that services the Scandinavian region. The Northern seas are known for their thriving fishing industry, which makes sense to host an international event for the industry. You get to discover the latest and best in fisheries technology and related technologies and services in Trondheim, Norway. Nor-Fishing is typically held in August when the weather is at its best once every two years. Editions run out of Trondheim Spektrum and last for four days in total. It is an exciting opportunity to break into the highly competitive Scandinavian market as well as keep an eye on the competition. The name recognition and prestige alone are reasons enough to reserve a spot for a trade show booth.
Nor-Fishing covers a lot of ground with its product portfolio. You see the latest innovations in fish processing, fishing equipment, electronics, vessel design, gear development, onboard handling, fishing ports, cooling devices, environmental protection, packaging and safety equipment. Who are the exhibitors that frequent the exhibition? You might recognize names such as Kongsberg Maritime, Optimar, Marel, Alfa Laval, Safepath AS, The Norwegian Fishermen’s Association and Kysthavnalliansen. The audience is mostly made up of the Scandinavian and European markets, which is not surprising. However, in recent years, the number of visitors from the USA and Asia is steadily growing. We also have to note that Nor-Fishing is not just reserved for professionals, but also lets in the public.
Nor-Fishing has also received backing and support from the Norwegian Royal Family, which only makes it a sought-after platform for conducting business. Every edition sees a member of the Royal Family in attendance to show patronage. Back in 2014, trade visitors could even meet Her Majesty Queen Sonja in person. There are not only presentations and static displays at Nor-Fishing. Trade visitors can experience equipment and machinery in full operation. The guided tours are truly the most popular part of Nor-Fishing. You can get on a boat and visit the fisheries on the coast of Trøndelag for practical knowledge. That is what helps buyers make up their minds and commit to large purchases. Editions also boast an excellent support program from panel discussions to seminars, which change from year to year.

Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful but it is really very old fashioned! The furniture and decoration 1970, could become very fancy again in a few years maybe? I recommend to take your own body wash etc with you while theirs isn't good quality. Breakfast is very correct Have a nice day and I will certainly contact you again for a next fair.
Best regards

I'm not positive how I stumbled across "Travel to Fairs Limited", but I'm so glad I did. A simple request for traveling advice turned into a fantastic planning experience. My first point of contact (Via telephone) was from Ms. Ellie Stone. From that point forward I worked solely with her. My plans were extremely complex and Ellie was there for me the entire time. Flying from the United States, traveling to four separate cites in three European countries seemed daunting. After a few questions and some conversation, Ellie was able to give me multiple hotel options in each city. Ms. Stone even divided each hotel by their amenities. (Included breakfast/bars/public transport etc.) In addition to her thorough help with hotel accommodations, Ellie also booked three (3) separate flights for me. Germany to Denmark to Poland. For each city/destination, Ellie offered no fewer than 3 options for accommodations. Same for my flight options. Each destination had three choices. Different airlines and different departure times so I could manage my travel easily. The communication between Ellie and myself was excellent. With the time change between us, emails worked perfectly. Ellie was very attentive to my needs and responded to my questions/inquiries quickly. On more than a few occasions, when I called her office, she took the time to answer me right away. I would love to extend my gratitude and genuine "thanks" to Ellie. Dare I say... she made this experience fun. 5 STARS !!! Her company should be grateful to have her working there.

Dear Tom, Dear Tess,
Thank you for your service, all went well. The only remark is that the hotel does not dispose of many parking slots, so we might reconsider it for next year.
Thanks
Best regards,
Dear Megan,
Wishing a great start to 2019 in Health, Happiness and Wealth!
My sincere apologies for the late reply as I headed for my holidays on return and just back last Friday to office.
Well, everything were great during my stay in Langham with a room’s view of Pearl River and awesome facility. Plus point with walking distance (5mins) to subway station and 10 mins stroll to the exhibition centre.
My greatest appreciation to you for all the coordination and arrangement for the hotel reservation!
Have a happy Monday!
Thank you
Best regards,
Salvia Omar
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your e-mail. I would have contacted you in any case to thank you for finding the hotel. The Grand Hotel Mussmann was excellent in every respect. The location was convenient for the tram and the bedrooms were quiet, even with the window left open at night. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, light, and tastefully decorated. For me, the combination of tiled and wooden floors was a bonus, much preferred to carpets. There was a conveniently-placed large desk on which to work by the window and WI-FI available free of charge. The breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and helpful. Marks – 10 out of 10! We would like to stay in this hotel the next time we attend the Hannover Show in April 2017; (we exhibit there on alternate years). Many thanks to you for finding just the right hotel for us. I would recommend your service to others without hesitation.
Kind regards,
Janet Dixon
