Packed three-day programme across multiple tracks
The NASF 2026 programme runs from Tuesday lunchtime to Thursday afternoon and features multiple parallel tracks. Sessions include dedicated summits on salmon, whitefish, aquafeed, sustainability, technology, and private equity, as well as market updates and innovation showcases.
In addition to conference sessions, the programme includes a wide range of networking events, receptions and industry-hosted dinners.
Several events are open to all delegates, while others are invitation-only and hosted by companies and partners involved in the forum.
Long-standing meeting place for the seafood industry
NASF has been held annually for more than two decades and has established itself as a central meeting place for senior decision-makers in the seafood sector.
According to the organisers, the goal is to keep executives updated on trends, challenges, and investment opportunities shaping the industry’s future.
The conference typically attracts participants from across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. Organisers describe NASF as both a conference and a networking arena, with a strong emphasis on informal meetings alongside the formal programme.
