PORTSMOUTH, N.H., – Registration is officially open for the Responsible Seafood Summit 2026, scheduled for September 21–24 at the Shangri-La, Bangkok, Thailand, the Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) announced today. Co-hosted by GSA and The Center for Responsible Seafood, the event promises four days of connection, conversation, and collaboration across the global seafood supply chain.
The Summit brings together industry leaders, innovators, producers, retailers, NGOs, and experts to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in seafood today. From sustainable production and evolving market demands to emerging science and policy, the discussions aim to shape the future of responsible seafood globally.
This year’s Summit features an expanded 2.5-day conference program, beginning Monday, providing participants with more opportunities to explore issues shaping seafood sustainability. Key program highlights include sessions examining growth opportunities in Europe, Asia, and Australia, spanning both retail and foodservice sectors.
Attendees will benefit from the return of the Summit’s hallmark annual production survey, presented by Rabobank seafood analyst Gorjan Nikolik, providing data-driven insights into the state of global seafood production. Other sessions will focus on critical supply chain topics, including access to deforestation- and conversion-free soy in aquafeed and initiatives to mitigate IUU (illegal, unreported, and unregulated) fishing risks across seafood supply chains.
A series of keynote speakers will be announced soon, featuring industry visionaries addressing topics relevant to both farmed and wild seafood sectors. Summit participants can expect interactive sessions, expert panels, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and actionable solutions for sustainable seafood practices.
“Thailand has long served as a hub for seafood production, trade, and innovation,” said Devan Meserve, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at GSA. “It is an ideal setting for the meaningful conversations and collaborations that define the Summit. We are thrilled to return to Bangkok with The Center for Responsible Seafood as our co-host and to welcome participants from around the world to connect, learn, and drive positive change in the industry.”
The Responsible Seafood Summit emphasizes practical outcomes and real-world solutions, encouraging cross-sector collaboration. From small-scale producers to multinational retailers, the event brings together stakeholders who share a commitment to transparency, sustainability, and innovation in seafood.
