Join us in the heart of Alaska’s largest city for the 2026 Mariculture Conference of Alaska, where ocean views, industry insight and collaborative energy will come together.

The Mariculture Conference of Alaska is an opportunity to engage with members of the mariculture industry, hear from experts and connect with farmers, processors, researchers, community leaders and other professionals.
