2012 Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit February 13th and 14th

The 4th annual Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit will be taking place February 13-14 in Juneau, Alaska. In addition to providing crucial training and networking opportunities for fishermen entering the business or wishing to take a leadership role in their industry, the summit will also take advantage of the Juneau location by introducing participants to the legislative process, and introducing the fish caucus of the legislature to the issues and concerns of Alaska’s emerging fishermen.

This two day conference will address four main topics:

• The nuts and bolts of managing the financial aspects of a successful fishing business
• Methods for participating in the fisheries regulatory process
• The role of Alaskan seafood in the world marketplace
• The science and management of our sustainable fisheries.
  

The three previous Alaska Young Fishermen’s Summits have brought together over 180 up-and-coming fishermen from communities from all around Alaska to participate in focused discussions and problem-solving sessions with industry experts like keynote speakers Arne Fuglvog, Clem Tillion, Robin Samuelson, Linda Behnken and Al Burch.

The 2012 Summit, will include many of the same speakers, while also focusing on the new opportunities available because of the Juneau location.

Registration is open online and early registration is only $100. There are only 75 spots open so register early! More information can be found here and on their Facebook!
