Microbiome Conferences in 2026
It’s that time again! Every year, we curate a comprehensive list of global microbiome conferences — both in-person and virtual. While we’d love to call it the definitive list, we know new events continue to emerge throughout the year. These conferences span every facet of microbiome science — from foundational research, R&D, and commercialization to applications in human, animal, plant, environmental, gut, skin, and oral microbiomes.
With each passing year, the number and diversity of these events grow — reflecting the rapid expansion and significance of microbiome research.
Having participated in many microbiome conferences over the years, we’ve developed a few favorites that we always look forward to (though we wish we could attend them all). Here are the conferences we’re planning to attend in 2026 — hope to see you there!
