Every year, the Future of the Microbiome Summit brings together the scientists, clinicians, and industry professionals whose work is laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of the microbiome. With the field evolving quickly, by the time a finding gets to the main stage, the researchers doing the most interesting work have moved on. And some research is quite preliminary, and needs further development before having broader commercial applicability. This summit is built to close both gaps and we want to hear from you.
A 3-day virtual conference drawing researchers, product developers, formulators, investors, retail buyers, and health practitioners from across the natural products and life sciences industries. Many of them are making sourcing, formulation, and investment decisions right now, based on where the science is heading.
Past presenters have come from Stanford University, the Institute for Systems Biology, UC Davis, the University of South Florida, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and University College Cork, alongside founders, clinicians, and applied scientists putting that science to work in products and practice.
Research presentations: For scientists and clinicians presenting original findings, novel mechanisms, or emerging data. Postdoctoral and graduate research is welcome and encouraged.
Industry/applied presentations: For practitioners, founders, and applied scientists presenting real-world applications, formulation insights, or market-level observations grounded in evidence.
Tell us your name, affiliation, proposed presentation title, and a 200–300 word summary of what you’d cover and why it belongs at this summit.
Submissions close August 14, 2026. Selected speakers will be notified by August 31st. The summit runs November 17-19th, 2026.
