2025 Seaweed Summit

Registrations Now Open for the ANZSA Seaweed Summit 2025! 

This year our theme is “From Niche to Noticed: Building the Value Chain for our Seaweed Economy.”
Our summit follows the Aquaculture New Zealand Conference which is held at the same venue, over the two days prior.

ANZSA’s Seaweed Summit is your opportunity to dive into the world of seaweed, connect with industry leaders, researchers, and innovators, and explore the boundless potential of this incredible marine resource.  We bring together experts, entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers to discuss building the value chain for a seaweed economy.

ABSTRACTS & POSTERS
We are calling for abstracts – please click the button to submit your abstracts for oral and or poster presentations.  Please share these links with your seaweed colleagues.  Submission of abstracts open until 31 May 2025.
