The IX Global Fishery Forum & Seafood Expo Russia 2026 will be held September 16–18, 2026, once again in Pavilions F and G of the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Centre, St. Petersburg.

As in previous years, the 2026 forum and expo will bring together representatives from all sectors of the fishery industry and the full supply chain — from fishing and aquaculture to delivering finished products to consumers. Organizers will preserve the diversity of exhibition sections while expanding the scale of special expositions. Participation of international companies is also expected to grow, supported by ongoing efforts to attract new exhibitors through visiting international trade shows, embassies, and trade missions.

The event will feature new special projects and competitions, alongside digital solutions designed to simplify navigation around the venue and make the visitor experience even more convenient. The program will also include sports events, including the third industry-friendly football match between the forum and expo organizers and participants.

"The audience highly appreciated the new projects presented at this year’s event, and many actively participated. We saw great enthusiasm for the Fish Pack packaging contest and high engagement during the Tech Marathon. This lively feedback is not only gratifying but also helps us develop these formats and introduce new initiatives. Importantly, these activities are not just for entertainment—they address real challenges facing the industry today, from boosting fish consumption to modernizing production capacities. The success of these initiatives depends on the involvement of every professional, and we will continue to foster these opportunities at the forum and expo in St. Petersburg," said Ivan Fetisov.

This year, the forum and expo welcomed 20,080 specialists from 84 regions of Russia and 81 countries worldwide, while more than 350 companies from 37 Russian regions and 11 countries exhibited their products and services.

Video recordings and business program materials are already available on the official website, with curated photo collections accessible via the link. For those unable to attend in person, a 3D virtual tour of the expo will soon be offered.
