Every summer, fishermen and angling enthusiasts from around the world gather in Orlando, Florida for the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST). As the world’s largest sportfishing tradeshow, ICAST features a vast array of vendors showcasing the latest in fishing technology, gear, apparel, and more. 

For The Billfish Foundation (TBF), ICAST is not just a tradeshow; but a gathering that serves as a meeting point for many of TBF’s valued sponsors, as well as an opportunity to engage with potential new partners. The support from our sponsors enables TBF to undertake critical projects such as advocacy work, satellite tagging, and various other conservation initiatives. 

ICAST provides a platform for sharing TBF’s successes and future plans with stakeholders who share our passion for the community, industry and billfish. The interaction with like-minded individuals and organizations fosters innovation and collaboration, ensuring we continue to advance our conservation goals. 

We look forward to returning to ICAST next year, eager to build on the relationships and ideas sparked during this year’s event!
