ICC Sydney hosts major Australian seafood and FoodTech industry conferences

Seafood Directions 2026 opened on July 28, 2026, with an opening session at the Sydney Fish Market before moving to the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) for the main conference from July 28‑30. The three‑day program addresses trade, geopolitics, labor challenges, climate resilience, technology and artificial intelligence, with a keynote by Julian Moore titled “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Seafood.”

Diversified Australia announced FoodTech Sydney, a two‑day event for advanced food manufacturing scheduled for August 17‑18, 2027, also at ICC Sydney, Darling Harbour. The conference, unveiled at foodpro 2026, will feature live demonstrations, case studies and discussions across five exhibitor segments, aiming to help NSW manufacturers adopt new technologies and improve ROI. Louise Brooks, Event Director of Diversified Australia, emphasized the event’s focus on implementation rather than product browsing.
