The Responsible Seafood Conference
Connect. Collaborate. Commit.
GOAL is now called The Responsible Seafood Summit!
New Name, Same Mission
The 21st edition of the Global Seafood Alliance’s flagship event, GOAL, held at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, USA, from Oct. 3 to 6, 2022, was a success, attracting 350 delegates from around the world. GOAL is now called The Responsible Seafood Summit, a name that better represents GSA’s vision of a world that embraces the role of responsible seafood in meeting global nutrition needs, for both farmed and wild seafood. The first event under the new name will be held at The Delta Hotel in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, from Oct. 2 to 5, 2023. Join us!

Encouraging Collaboration, Facilitating Dialogue
The Global Seafood Alliance has been encouraging collaboration and facilitating dialogue throughout the seafood community since 2001, beginning with the Global Shrimp Outlook for Leadership (GSOL) and continuing with its successor, the Global Outlook for Aquaculture Leadership (GOAL). Though the name has changed, the mission has not – to provide a pre-competitive platform for sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas amongst seafood thought leaders.
Executives representing the entire seafood value chain – including farmers, fishers, processors, exporters and importers, feed manufacturers, wholesalers, retail and foodservice buyers, technology providers, NGOs and government officials – attend The Responsible Seafood Summit to be active participants in the development of a healthy, responsible seafood community.
A 21-Year History of Staying Ahead of the Curve
The Responsible Seafood Summit features a forward-thinking program that identifies emerging issues before they become challenges and offers solutions to those impending challenges, keeping you ahead of the curve. The program for the 2022 event will be published by May 1. Attendees represent the entire seafood value chain – including farmers, fishers, processors, exporters and importers, feed manufacturers, wholesalers, retail and foodservice buyers, technology and other service providers, NGOs and government officials.
No two events are the same! We do not rest on our laurels by holding the same event in the same location each year. The Responsible Seafood Summit has been held in 18 cities on four continents (Asia, Europe, North America and South America) since 2001. Each event is unique, embracing the identity and culture of the host country while providing an entertaining, casual atmosphere for seafood professionals to learn, network and socialize through a carefully curated program, meals and receptions, and field trips to production facilities.
A Carefully Curated Program
Moderated by GSA’s subject matter experts, The Responsible Seafood Summit’s carefully curated program features more than 50 international speakers and centers on production, sustainability, innovation and market trends, for both farmed and wild seafood.
