Scottish Skipper Expo
13 & 14 MAY 2022
P&J LIVE EXHIBITION ARENA ABERDEEN
With a new name and an exciting new venue, Scottish Skipper Expo will be held at the new state-of-the-art P & J Live exhibition arena in Aberdeen.
Now in its 10th year, Scottish Skipper Expo is Scotland’s flagship fisheries show that attracts large numbers of exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.
The show was founded by Mara Media, a publishing and event management company based in Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Mara Media publishes the widely respected ‘The Skipper’ magazine, a monthly publication for the Irish and UK fishing industries. It also owns the Irish Skipper Expo, a sister show to the Scottish Skipper Expo, and which in 2022 will be held in Limerick
The Scottish Skipper Expo has been so successful that the number of exhibitors has more than doubled since its inception, with there being a truly international flavour. For example, at Scottish Skipper Expo 2019, there were around 230 exhibitors from 22 different countries.
The success of the show can be attributed to the fact that the expo is a great place to do business, as well as being the ideal venue for the fishing industry to network and socialise.
Such success is confirmed by the universally positive testimonials from exhibitors and visitors alike.
The team at Mara Media has the philosophy of continually consulting with exhibitors and visitors to ensure the show fully meets their requirements.

Note to Exhibitors 7th August
Thank you very much for sharing with us your feedback on the recent survey we sent out on 23 July.
We have always been industry led, listening to both our exhibitors and visitors and this brings us to inform you that your 10 anniversary show will now take place on 14/15 May 2021 at the new P & J live in Aberdeen.
Whilst some feedback was positive, we recognise the concerns of the majority of industry.
We are disappointed, but we know this is the right decision. Given the current situation surrounding Covid-19, it would not have been possible to bring to you the high quality show the commercial industry counts on each year.
Support for the show in the new P & J live arena far exceeded our expectations with the show almost sold out with over 190 companies booked the pandemic. We will protect your current booking and carry this forward to next year’s event which will return stronger to celebrate its 10 anniversary on 14/15 May.
We will continue to keep in touch with you and be supportive in any way we can.
Best wishes, Sharon
