The 20th Algae Biomass Summit will take place October 12-15, 2026 at Arizona State University’s Memorial Union in Tempe, Arizona.
The Algae Biomass Summit (ABS) is hosted by the Algae Biomass Organization (ABO), a non-profit trade association and unified voice of the algae industry. ABO is the leading U.S. algae biomass association, the longest-standing algae organization in the world, and host of the longest-running algae-focused conference globally. Working on behalf of all sectors, ABO advocates for algae-advancing policy and funding, serves as a hub for innovation and networking, and drives demand for “made with algae” products and services.
In 2026, ABO proudly celebrates 20 years of convening the global algae community through the Algae Biomass Summit. For two decades, the ABS has united commercial leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, policymakers, investors, and young innovators who share the same passion to drive innovation forward and build the algae and seaweed economy.
This premier event brings together industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, and innovators to explore breakthroughs in algae and seaweed applications, from sustainable food and feed to carbon capture and regenerative agriculture. With a focus on driving a low-carbon future, the Summit offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, showcasing advancements, and fostering partnerships that propel the algae industry forward.
Keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical talks, poster presentations, and networking opportunities give attendees access to the most current trends and meaningful connections across the algae value chain, no matter where you are in the world. We hope you will join us in October in Arizona.
