The Seaweed Scotland Conference is hosted annually by the Scottish Seaweed Industry Association (SSIA), and is the UK's largest gathering for seaweed farmers, processors, researchers, and entrepreneurs.
The Conference will explore Scotland's historical and cultural relationship with seaweed alongside modern blue economy developments, bringing together global experts to foster cooperation across the entire seaweed value chain.
Key topics will include sustainable harvesting to innovative applications in food, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture.
Networking and panel sessions provide the opportunity to connect global experts, policymakers, and supply chain stakeholders across two packed days of discussions.
A conference dinner will be hosted on the evening of 18th November at the Waterfront Fishouse, a local spot renowned for its fresh seafood and good quality cuisine.
