Dear Friends,

Welcome to IPA’s World Congress registration site. The meeting is held at the prestigious Beverly Hilton on April 11th – 12th 2008, in Beverly Hills, CA, a location chosen primarily for its wonderful weather year round.

Today there is immense consumer interest in probiotics as a way to maintain digestive health and overall well being. There is also major interest from the health care community because of the potential for probiotics to treat and/or prevent digestive disease. Due to the importance of such topics, the IPA World Congress scientific program will feature internationally recognized experts from every part of the world who will present the latest topics on biotechnology and the international regulatory environment, as well as researchers and medical experts who will introduce the most recent data on the clinical benefits of probiotics and the health concerns that have been shown to respond positively from probiotic supplementation.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the IPA World Congress 2008!

Ioannis Misopoulos, M.Sc.
Executive Director
