FirstSource Events Announces Kevin Coupe To Deliver Opening Keynote At Their Seafood Event

Portland, Maine – FirstSource announces that the fifth edition of its popular Seafood event will include an opening keynote presentation by well-known retail industry author Kevin Coupe.

Mr. Coupe will kick off the 2 ½ day meeting with a compelling insight and real-world examples, laced with what he calls "serious levity." His remarks are designed to provoke strategic action and innovative thinking about organizations, customers, challenges and goals.

"I'm excited to be a part of FirstSource Seafood this year, especially because I'm one of those people who'd rather eat swordfish, tuna or shrimp more than almost anything else. Plus, I get to share some provocative ideas about

marketing that have been developed over dozens of years of writing about the food industry. Sounds like a win-win to me!" states Coupe.

Bill Doherty, President, ICDevents, newly acquired owner of FirstSource Events, said, “Our team is excited that Kevin has agreed to kick off the event. Stay tuned for the announcement of additional visionary speakers that will be added to the agenda. We will be presenting relevant and actionable topics that will stimulate a high level of interaction and idea sharing among seafood buyers and suppliers.” In addition to delivering the opening presentation, Mr. Coupe will facilitate the meet and greet “Speed Dating” Ice Breaker, held immediately before the Welcome Party. Doherty says “This is an excellent opportunity for the qualified seafood buyers and elite seafood vendors to shake hands and share a few words before moving into the themed reception. Kevin is sure to make this a fun experience for all.”

Meaningful education will also happen throughout the event in a variety of networking get-togethers. “Some interesting and unique theme parties will be announced as the event date approaches.” claims FirstSource Events’ Meeting Planner, Linda Holmsten.
