SUMMARY:2nd Annual Prebiotics Symposium (In-person event hosted by GPA)
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce our 2nd annual Prebiotics Symposium\, an event dedicated to advancing the science and application of prebiotics.\n\n\n\nFollowing the success of our first in-person symposium\, the Global Prebiotic Association (GPA) will host the 2nd Annual Prebiotics Symposium on March 3rd\, early during show week\, near Anaheim. This event was created to address a clear industry gap: high-quality\, prebiotic-specific education delivered by experts deeply embedded in this category. \nThe in-person format is intentional.

SUMMARY:The Prebiotic Market & Its Consumers: Opportunities and Gaps (WEBINAR)
DESCRIPTION:Functional carbohydrates are at the center of one of the fastest-growing conversations in food science and consumer health\, but how well does the industry understand the consumers driving that demand\, and the science behind the ingredients they’re reaching for? \nThis panel discussion brings together experts from the prebiotic industry and the carbohydrate science community to explore the intersection of functional carbohydrates\, prebiotic effects\, and human health. \nAttendees will come away with a clearer picture of the prebiotic market landscape and consumer behavior\, the science of resistant starch and its established health benefits\, and how the structural properties of complex dietary fibers shape the gut microbiome. \nWhether you work in ingredient development\, brand strategy\, food science\, or regulatory affairs\, this session delivers both the market context and the mechanistic science worth knowing. \nThis webinar is hosted as a collaboration with Institute of Food Technologists and Global Prebiotic Association.
