This meeting brings together leading researchers, innovators, and early-career scientists to share ideas and foster lasting collaborations. This year’s program highlights the diverse roles of glycans in host–microbe interactions, microbial survival, and pathogenesis.

Throughout the conference, you will hear about the latest research (many presented here for the first time) spanning topics from bacterial cell envelope biosynthesis and cell signalling to applied glycobiology. Above all, we aim to create an open, inclusive, and stimulating environment that encourages discussion, inspiration, and new connections. Click here for more information.

Registration closes on the 15th of August 2026.
