NACE/MAS 2026 Program

We look forward to seeing you at NACE/MAS 2026!

As always, the joint NACE/MAS conference has two days of sessions on all aspects of aquaculture, as well as multiple workshops, field trips and a trade show featuring 40 vendors servicing the industry.

The program begins on Wednesday, January 7 with field trips to area aquaculture farms and research facilities. We also expect to convene several workshops at the hotel conference center.  The opening reception will commence Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM.

Thursday morning, the opening plenary session will feature brief industry updates from across the northeast region and Canadian Maritimes. There will be seven concurrent sessions, workshops and technology transfer sessions covering a multitude of topics. Plan to wrap up the day at the poster session and trade show happy hour. Thursday evening, attendees will be on their own to dine at one of the fine restaurants in downtown Portland. 

Friday has another day packed with six concurrent sessions and workshops. Be sure to stay until the end of the day and enjoy a last refreshment before heading home.
