Join us at the Delta Hotels Beausejour January 21-23. We will kick off this year’s Town Meeting with a welcome banquet on the first night, followed by a day and a half of panel discussions addressing issues impacting the lobster industry.. This year’s panels will be announced soon..

Town Meeting is a unique opportunity for cross-border dialog among fishermen, managers, and researchers. 

Registration is open exclusively to commercial harvesters initially, after which it will open to the public. Thanks to the Sonneberg Fund, we once again can offer a limited number of free registrations for commercial fishermen.

Registration Fees and Room Rates will be posted as soon as they are available.

* We will once again offer exhibition space to our top sponsors. We only have space for 20 exhibition tables, so please let us know your desired level of support as soon as possible to secure your table and be included in preliminary event advertising. The exhibit space will share the same main meeting room as the panel presentations for optimal interactions throughout the two-day event.
