DLG Benelux, the organizer of the renowned Seagriculture conferences, has announced the merger of Seagriculture USA and Seagriculture Asia-Pacific into a single, global conference called Seagriculture World.

This strategic move reflects the organization’s aim to simplify the seaweed industry’s event calendar, strengthen global collaboration, and support innovation around the world. By merging two popular conferences into a single international event, DLG Benelux can expand into new regions and respond more quickly to emerging market trends. This new approach also reflects industry feedback, emphasizing the need for more streamlined and impactful events.

Seagriculture World will take place every year in a different country. The conference will retain its successful format:

• One day of site visits to see local seaweed operations and projects.
• Two days of conference sessions covering different parts of the seaweed industry. In addition, a trade show, poster presentations, and networking opportunities to help people connect and collaborate.

The Seagriculture conferences have grown into one of the leading global platforms for the seaweed industry, attracting over 500 stakeholders annually. Participants include farmers, processors, distributors, buyers, equipment suppliers, investors, researchers, and policymakers.
