Eldar Ástþórsson, Head of Marketing & Communications, says, “"Ports are vital to Iceland, connecting the Icelandic commercial fishing and aquaculture industries with their global markets. For many years the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Exhibition and Conference has also been connecting those industries, offering valuable business and networking opportunities. With our similar aims we are delighted to support IceFish and look forward to attending in September."
From its origins in 1984 IceFish has always been the must-attend exhibition, and celebration, for the Icelandic commercial fishing industries.

The 15th edition will take place in Kópavogur, just outside Reykjavik from 22-24 September 2026 and features a range of new, topical conferences, business matchmaking, innovation features, new product presentations and the renowned Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Awards, recognising excellence across the sector.
Sally Wattam, Events Director, Icefish said, “We are pleased to welcome Associated Icelandic Ports as a supporter of IceFish. The roots of IceFish are firmly in Icelandic commercial fishing, and the Ports are at the very heart of that industry. We value the Ports support and input as we continue to develop IceFish as an exhibition and conference for the future”.
