Some of the world’s most renowned berry researchers will gather in Tampa Bay, Fla., Feb. 1-3, to present research that attracted media and consumer attention to berries as a superfruit.

The Berry Health Benefits Symposium is an international conference dedicated to showcasing the latest scientific research into berries and health.

The symposium, held biennially since 2005, features the latest findings in many areas including cognition, berry phytochemicals and metabolites on cardiovascular function and cardio-metabolic health; gut health and gut microflora; food technology and chemistry; and berry special topics.

Backed by the National Berry Crops Initiative, the symposium offers 1½ days of research presentations and a half-day event, The Berry Sessions, for non-scientists, and will include a tour of a nearby berry farm.

Sponsorships are eligible for a 501-c3 deduction and are customized for each sponsor. For more information, visit berryhealth.org/sponsorship-opportunities.
