Connecting the dots

George Paraskevakos, Executive Director of the International Probiotics Association, stated: "Probiotics are a multi-billion dollar global industry that is impacting all aspects of our health and wellness. And we are seeing from the science that probiotics are only one tool in the wider microbiome modulation toolbox. It is important that industry, researchers, and regulators come together to keep up-to-date on all the advances and understand how to connect the dots, and that is exactly what this event does."​ 

Delegate registration is now open for the IPA World Congress + Probiota in Barcelona, with early bird pricing available until Friday, 25th November 2022.
