Why Attend

Co-located onsite with the IceFish Exhibition

Where Aquaculture – Driving Sustainable Growth meets 100% Fish for Profit in one essential programme across three days.

Following the success of five editions of Fish Waste for Profit, the IceFish Conferences have expanded into a full three-day programme designed to support a more sustainable and resilient seafood industry. Taking place alongside the IceFish Exhibition, the 2026 edition combines our dedicated one-day Aquaculture – Driving Sustainable Growth Conference with two full days of 100% Fish for Profit, offering delegates a concentrated view of the trends, technologies and opportunities shaping the future of the sector.

The Conferences

Formerly known as Fish Waste for Profit, 100% Fish for Profit explores how to unlock value from every part of the catch, transforming the whole fish into high-value products across a range of markets. This essential event brings together owners, CEOs, and leaders from the fishing, aquaculture, and processing sectors, as well as supply-chain partners, to discover new innovations, gain industry insights, and connect with key stakeholders.

The Aquaculture – Driving Sustainable Growth Conference will bring together Iceland’s leading aquaculture operators, innovators, and policymakers alongside international experts shaping the future of the sector. This one-day event will highlight Iceland’s unique strengths as a global hub for aquaculture while exploring the technologies, sustainable production practices, and forward-looking strategies that will enable responsible growth domestically and across international markets.
