The 10th Microbiome AgBioTech Summit returns as the industry-leading, global congress dedicated to translating plant-soil microbiome science into commercially viable agricultural products.

We will unite agbiotech innovators, researchers, growers, regulators and investors to address end-to-end challenges and cutting-edge technologies shaping the path from discovery to field adoption.

This flagship plant microbiome conference is where science meets strategy and where real-world decisions are made to accelerate validation, inform scalable fermentation and formulation, enhance regulatory readiness and build grower trust.

Access our program to discover the complete event line-up.

This meeting is specifically crafted for senior decision-makers and technical experts spanning the full agricultural biologicals ecosystem. This year’s attendees include:

• Agbiotech and agtech organizations developing microbial products
• Scientific teams advancing biofertilizers, biostimulants, and biocontrols
• R&D, fermentation, and formulation leaders scaling microbial innovation
• Commercial, regulatory, and market strategy professionals
• Investors tracking the progress of agbio scale-up and next-generation biologicals
• Academics and translational scientists specializing in microbiome research

No matter if you are optimizing your discovery pipeline, preparing to go-to-market or looking to expand globally, this ag-specific summit is built to accommodate you at your stage of growth.

In 2026, we have structured the agenda around the key bottlenecks slowing down adoption of microbial products to offer you actionable, industry-led takeaways to overcome them.

• Design credible, grower-relevant field trials: Separate biological signal from environmental noise, build trials that drive adoption, and translate results into commercial value with UPL, NewLeaf Symbiotics and BASF.
• Unpack microbial discovery and mechanism of action: Decode how biological products work to improve efficacy, consistency, and product differentiation with BASF, Indigo Ag and Robigo.
• Delve into agbio fermentation and formulation at scale: Improve shelf life, cell viability, and manufacturability while maintaining field performance with Kula Bio, Wilbur Ellis and PhycoTerra.
• Explore AI-enabled microbiome discovery and decision-making: Apply AI, machine learning, sequencing, and environmental data to accelerate R&D and reduce variability with BW Fusion, Verdesian Life Sciences and Reshape Biotech.
• Refine your regulatory strategy for global commercialization: Align data sets, navigate EPA/USDA expectations, and prepare for multi-region scale out with Plant Health Care, USDA and Kula Bio.
• Establish a strong go-to-market strategy: Decide what to commercialize, eliminate wasted R&D spend, and build defensible products in crowded markets with Wilbur Ellis and BioConsortia.

With a program that balances technical depth alongside commercial execution, walk away with the scientific and business intel to drive success in 2026 and beyond!

For our 10th anniversary edition, we have added several new elements and expanded existing opportunities to bring you the most informative meeting to date.

• A dedicated Pre-Conference Grower Workshop Day which places farmers at the center of the conversation.
• Expanded roundtable discussions laser-focused on fermentation, formulation, AI and soil health.
• Extended coverage on real-world field performance, not just lab success.
• Brand-new companies who will bring fresh perspectives and data to the speaker faculty.
