Accommodation

The group rate at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel will be available soon - watch for emails from AANS. Be sure to book in the hotel block, as it helps keep our costs (room rental and food) down with the hotel...making it cheaper for you!

Trade Show

The 2026 Trade Show has space for 20 exhibitors to meet sea farmers and promote their products or services.

Farmed Seafood Dinner Reception

Sea Farmers 2026 will feature a reception style dinner, included with registration, for all conference delegates on February 11th, from 7 - 10 pm. The dinner will showcase our locally farmed seafood, complemented by locally produced beverages in a social setting so you can catch up with your sea farming network.

Student Awards and Scholarship

The AANS Student Awards and Scholarship were established to help advance the aquaculture industry through supporting students who demonstrate outstanding projects related to the aquaculture industry. The awards and scholarships are made possible through the generous donations of Sea Farmers Conference sponsors.
