Global Seafood Alliance Expands Conference Program in Bangkok

The Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) has unveiled an enhanced program for the 25th installment of the Responsible Seafood Summit, set to take place from September 21-24, 2026, at the luxurious Shangri-La Bangkok. This year, in collaboration with The Center for Responsible Seafood, the GSA promises a comprehensive agenda that aims to deliver unparalleled insights and value to its attendees.

An Engaging Kickoff

The Summit will commence on Monday, September 21, with a networking lunch allowing participants to mingle and share ideas right from the start. Following that, keynote speeches will focus on prominent trends currently shaping the seafood landscape. The discussions will touch on critical issues such as climate change, global market volatility, and the necessity for local leadership in fostering sustainable practices within the industry. Thai Union executives will share their perspectives, leading up to an evening Welcome Reception by the riverside—an occasion for further networking in a more relaxed setting.

Day of Bold Ideas

The second day of the summit, Tuesday, September 22, will feature a full slate of plenary sessions dedicated to innovative ideas and tangible solutions poised to address ongoing challenges in the seafood sector. One highlight includes the presentation of the conference’s annual production survey data, focusing on fishery improvement projects (FIPs) and providing invaluable market research paired with consumer preference insights. This day will close with the highly-anticipated Responsible Seafood Innovation Awards, acknowledging pioneering efforts within the sector, followed by another networking event.

Specialized Learning Tracks

The following day, Wednesday, September 23, offers a distinct advantage by allowing attendees to choose from four specialized tracks: aquaculture, wild fisheries, all seafood, or shrimp. This tailored experience ensures that participants gain focused knowledge aligned with their particular interests or professional roles. The day will culminate with a scenic river cruise that doubles as the Gala reception, providing a memorable setting to celebrate achievements and build connections.

Final Day Field Trips

Finally, on Thursday, September 24, participants can take part in optional industry field trips designed to offer a firsthand look at innovative seafood practices and operations. This opportunity not only enhances the learning experience but also allows for the practical application of concepts discussed during the summit.
