Pre-Event Workshops
Limited spaces are available for our Pre-Event Workshops, allowing for more in-depth discussion around 2 key themes:
- Women’s Health & the Microbiome

Networking Zone
Our Networking Zone is the place to be to have partnering meetings, find your next technology, and catch up with your peers over a coffee or lunch. We’ve built more networking time than ever before into the programme this year, giving you plenty of time to catch up with old faces and make the connections you need to fast-track your research.

Partnering
Microbiome Connect was founded on connections – on bringing together the breadth of the microbiome ecosystem to make partnerships that will facilitate industry growth. For 2023, we’re bringing a revamped 1-2-1 Partnering Platform allowing all attendees to meet new people, discover new organizations and create incredible new opportunities.
With our Partnering Platform, you’ll have access to efficient networking and collaboration across every use case – from connecting efficiently with new & familiar faces and meeting potential customers & partners, through to raising capital and recruitment.
How can I get involved?
Our Partnering Platform is open to all conference attendees at no additional cost and is the best way to meet everyone you want to meet at Microbiome Connect. To participate, just get your ticket and complete your profile to let other attendees know about you and your organization’s goals. Two days out from the event, you’ll then be able to review hundreds of profiles and select who you want to meet, with the option to filter attendees by therapeutic area, stage of research, and partnering goals. Then, simply join your meetings on-site – it’s as simple as that.
Want to get the most out of the conference?
