The Conference

Fish Waste for Profit 2024 will be the 5th edition of the Icelandic Fisheries Conference, which runs alongside The Icelandic Fisheries Seafood & Aqua Exhibition, from 19-20 September. 

The conference will take place at the Hilton Nordica Hotel Reykjavík. It equips attendees with insights and knowledge sharing with 140 other industry specialists on how to maximize their return on investment by transforming potentially discarded parts of the catch into high-value products for non-food sectors. Attendees are invited to attend the 14th Icelandic Fisheries, Seafood & Aqua Exhibition (IceFish) free of charge. This will offer attendees the opportunity to network with over 13,000 commercial fishing, supply chain, value added and processing professionals. There will be dedicated networking time at IceFish on day two of the conference and a complimentary shuttle bus will be provided.

The reutilisation of fish processing by-products is a lucrative add-on to regular fish processing, serving the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. Estimates reveal that 43% of fish and shellfish resources end up as wastage, which represents a significant amount of potential profit that could be generated from otherwise discarded material.

Fish Waste for Profit provides attendees with knowledge on how to maximise their return on investment from potentially discarded parts of the catch that can be turned into high value products for non-food sectors. This is a must attend event for those looking to discover new innovations and industry insights, and to develop relations with key industry stakeholders.

You could be throwing away up to 43% of potential profit that can be generated from otherwise discarded material! Learn how at Fish Waste for Profit!
