See Emily’s past speaking experience HERE

“Emily joined SAIC as a keynote speaker for our Sustainable Aquaculture Summit in May 2023 in Glasgow. She focused on the lack of effective communication about seafood, including aquaculture, and how this could improve diets globally. She highlighted how information on sustainability is important to a large percentage of consumers, and how different demographics could be reached, for example, through social media. We were very pleased to have had Emily on board to bring the importance of communication to the forefront of the Scottish aquaculture sectors’ minds.”
