IceFish 2017 will be held 13-15 September 2017

In response to feedback from exhibitors, the 2017 event will be held Wednesday-Thursday, instead of Thursday-Saturday.

IceFish celebrated its 30th anniversary during the 2014 exhibition, and has seen the exhibition more than double in size over the past decade, with visitor attendance increasing by 12% to 15,219 compared with the 2011 event.

A must for all commercial fisheries organisations and associated businesses, the three year cycle of the show is in direct response to the requests of exhibitors, as it ensures they have new products on display at each event.

In addition to the exhibition itself, the Icelandic Fisheries Awards ceremony recognises and rewards excellence within the Icelandic and international commercial fishing industries. The 2nd IceFish Conference will also run alongside the event - focusing on ‘Fish Waste for Profit’ it will address the issues and techniques of how to utilise the entire fish, maximise returns and provide insights into organisations already involved in the process.
