It’s become a tradition! Every year, we compile an extensive list of both in-person and online microbiome conferences from around the world - we would like to say it is the definitive list, but I am sure there are others out there and more to be announced. 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, which correlates with the growth and importance of the science.
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 are considering attending – hope to see you there:
- Host-Microbe Co-evolution in Human Health: The Microbiome-Pathobiont Continuum and Human Microbiome: Diversity, Selection and Adaptation (Keystone Symposia) – February 18 to 21 in Banff, Alberta, Canada
- 13th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Forum: Europe – April 28 to 29, 2025 in The Hague, Netherlands
- EMBL Symposium - The Human Microbiome – September 16 to 19, 2025 in Heidelberg, Germany
- Having IMPACTT 5: Advancing Microbiome Research - September 22 to 24, 2025 in Canmore, Alberta, Canada
- 13th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Forum – October 13 to 14, 2025 in San Diego, CA, USA
- Microbiome Metabolism and Metabolites: Discovery and Function in Health and Disease (Keystone Symposia) – January 19 to 22, 2026 in Banff, Alberta, Canada
- Tumor Metabolism: New Frontiers in Diet, Microbiome and Beyond (Keystone Symposia) – June 8 to 11, 2026 in Killarney, Ireland
We’re excited about the growth in this area and the number and quality of the microbiome conferences this year. We are always looking for feedback on conference so please reach out. Really hope we get the opportunity to connect at one of these events. If you would like to submit a conference to this list, please email us or comment at the bottom of the post.
