When organising a digital version of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum, there has been identified a need for conference hosts that can guide delegates through the comprehensive program. Instead of using professional conference hosts NASF wanted to find two talented persons from within the Seafood Industry, that has the knowledge of the industry and the passion for seafood. The North Atlantic Seafood Forum have selected Tasha Prestø-He and Piotr Wingaard as conference hosts for the 16th NASF on June 8 to 10, 2021.
Tasha Prestø-He has since 2015 been working for Lerøy Seafood as key account manager for Value Added Products, and has a passion for seafood in general working with both red and white fish. She describes herself as a foodie, which is easily combined with her work in product development and international sales of a variety of seafood. Her passion for the industry will be highly visible in the role as one of the conference hosts for NASF digital.
Piotr Wingaard has worked in the Seafood industry all his professional life and is currently holding the position as business development director at Grieg Seafood. Before taking on his role in Grieg Seafood he has held executive positions with Biomega, Fish Pool and Atlantic Sapphire. Piotr has a special passion for improvement, innovation, and development. That fits perfectly since his role as conference host for NASF is all about improving and enhancing the experience for the conference delegates.
“We are honored and delighted to be given this opportunity and are looking forward to take up the challenge of hosting such a comprehensive digital event,” they said in a joint statement.
André Akse, general manager, North Atlantic Seafood Forum, said, “I’m delighted that these two young talents have accepted the challenge of taking on the role as hosts for the world’s largest top executive Seafood Business conference. Their role as hosts is important in giving our delegates the best digital conference experience and fulfilling our ambitions of organizing the best digital top executive conference in the seafood industry in 2021.”
The all-digital NASF conference has parallel sessions over 3 days, with leading industry experts and executives as speakers.
