Every year, we compile an extensive list of both in-person and online microbiome conferences from around the world. These events cover all aspects of the microbiome, from basic science, R&D, and commercialization to applications in human, animal, plant, environmental, gut, skin, oral health, and more. And, every year, there are more and more conferences to chose from.
Having attended many microbiome conferences over the years, we have some favorites that we like to attend and recommend (though we wish we could attend them all). Here are the conferences we will be attending – hope to see you there:
- Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Forum: Europe on April 23 - 24, 2024, in The Hague, Netherlands. Global Engage conferences are exceptional for exploring the scientific and commercial advancements across the gut microbiome in health and disease, including the gut-brain axis, cancer and cardiometabolic diseases, infant health, skin microbiome, and personalized nutrition and probiotics. We have already attended this conference and it was a great experience, offering deep insights and fantastic networking opportunities.
- IMPACTT 4: Advancing Microbiome Research on June 3 – 5, 2024 in Canmore, AB, Canada – We love Canmore (just 20 minutes from Banff), and the conference at the "Malcolm" Hotel is a world-class event featuring leading microbiome research from Canada and around the globe. IMPACTT stands for Integrated Microbiome Platforms for Advancing Causation Testing and Translation, and it's an excellent opportunity for networking with researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals.
- Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Forum: USA on October 17 – 18, 2024, in San Diego, United States – With a great venue and top-notch networking, the Global Engage meetings are, in our opinion, one of the premier microbiome scientific and networking events.
We’re excited about the growth and diversity of microbiome conferences this year and hope to connect with many of you. If you would like to submit a conference to this list, please comment at the bottom of the post.
