In its 6th year, IPA World Congress + Probiota Americas presents a pivotal experience linking top experts from across the globe to connect the business and science of the microbiome. The 2021 Digital Summit will take place from June 15 through June 1. Mark your calendars; you won’t want to miss this provocative event filled with cutting-edge science and how it translates to market opportunities. Chief categories this year include disruptive scientific advances, emerging health opportunities and the changing retail landscape, and the immunity question.
The International Probiotics Association with NutraIngredients-USA.com invite you to enjoy over 10 hours of live content, keynote presentations, vigorous panel discussions, and live Q&A. And just as with past in-person events, poster sessions and on-demand content are available.
New features this year make attendee participation more immersive: Artificial intelligence matches with personal meetings with delegates, interaction in polls and visits to sponsor hubs.
And as optimum health is the goal, a Wellness Hub offers recipes and other tips in addition to a session of desk yoga, a balm for the stress of these pandemic times. On Wednesday, June 16, Virtual Workout Day encourages participants to exercise and follow-up with a social media post with hashtag #Probiota. One lucky poster will win $100 Amazon voucher.
