FirstSource Events Hires Seafood Industry Marketing Veteran For Their Rebranded Event

Wells, Maine – After 24 years of marketing to the seafood industry, ten years with Astra Information Systems and over fourteen years at Diversified Business Communications, with SeaFood Business and SeafoodSource.com, FirstSource is proud to announce that Sue Kogan is back in the industry that she loves.

"FirstSource offers the style of buyer-supplier meeting opportunities that I always found missing in all other forms of marketing available to seafood suppliers, plus it’s fun!” said Ms. Kogan. “Vertical meeting events are not new to the business world but relatively new to the seafood industry. This is a growing niche where buyers and suppliers have a relaxing venue to

meet, see, taste, and do business. I spoke to the team at FirstSource about the many changes in store and am excited to be a part of growing this event!” Sue went on to add “A focused few days to meet new suppliers will save buyers time and money. Suppliers often see immediate return on their investment with these types of events and Buyers appreciate the time savings.

I'm delighted and ready to get to work!"

Bill Doherty, President of International Conference Development, LLC (Newly acquired owner of FirstSource Events), said, “We are very excited that Sue Kogan will be leading our sales efforts for the FirstSource Seafood 1on1 Meeting in 2016. As we rebrand and grow this Seafood Event, Sue will play an integral role in helping to recruit participation of the industry’s top Seafood Suppliers and Buyers. ”
