2025 Seaweed Summit

Registrations Now Open for the ANZSA Seaweed Summit 2025! 

Date: Friday 10th October 2025, 8am -5pm
Location: The Rutherford, Nelson, New Zealand

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.
