American Society for Nutrition Announces Future Flagship Meetings, Highlighting Las Vegas 2027 and a Centennial Milestone in Boston for 2028

The American Society for Nutrition (ASN) has officially announced that NUTRITION 2027, its flagship annual meeting, will convene the global nutrition science community in Las Vegas, Nevada, from July 26 to July 29, 2027. In tandem with this announcement, the Society revealed that its subsequent major gathering, NUTRITION 2028, will take place in Boston from June 10 to June 13, 2028. This 2028 event will serve as a centerpiece of the ASN’s centennial celebration, returning to the very city where the inaugural modern NUTRITION meeting was held a decade prior, thereby honoring the historical roots of the event while commemorating a century of profound advancements in nutrition science.

Since its inception, the NUTRITION meeting series has established itself as the premier annual gathering for the international nutrition community. It annually brings together a diverse array of professionals, including researchers, clinical practitioners, public health experts, policymakers, and industry leaders dedicated to the advancement of nutritional sciences. The conference consistently serves as a comprehensive showcase for the latest developments across an increasingly multidisciplinary field, encompassing clinical research, basic science, translational studies, and population health initiatives aimed at addressing complex global health challenges.

As the scientific community looks ahead to the upcoming milestones, leadership within the organization has emphasized the growing importance of collaborative efforts in addressing modern health crises. "As we look ahead to NUTRITION 2027, we’re excited to bring the global nutrition community together in a convenient and accessible destination for attendees from across the field," said Dr. Keith West, DrPH, MPH, Incoming President of ASN. He noted that scientific discovery in nutrition is expanding rapidly into novel and critical areas to address the distinct health challenges of the modern era.

Dr. West further emphasized the practical implications of these gatherings within the current socioeconomic and structural landscape. "As resources for nutrition support undergo adjustment, it is vital that researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and leaders across disciplines and continents connect, collaborate, and share latest advances that will improve health throughout our world," he added. Through structured sessions, symposia, and informal networking opportunities, NUTRITION 2027 will continue the organization’s long-standing tradition of delivering cutting-edge science and unparalleled opportunities for professional learning and partnership development.

The choice of location for the 2027 conference is intended to facilitate broad participation from across the globe, offering a dynamic and accessible environment for attendees. "Las Vegas provides a dynamic setting for NUTRITION 2027 as ASN convenes diverse perspectives and disciplines shaping the future of nutrition science," stated Dr. John Courtney, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of ASN. He highlighted that the 2027 meeting will act as a crucial stepping stone toward the organization’s historic centennial. "As ASN approaches its centennial in 2028, NUTRITION 2027 will recognize the scientific achievements that have shaped the field while looking ahead to the next century of discovery, innovation, and impact," Dr. Courtney explained.

Preparations for the 2027 conference are already underway within the Society. Abstract submissions for NUTRITION 2027 are scheduled to open this coming fall, inviting researchers and practitioners from around the world to present their latest findings and contribute to the scientific program. Additionally, the ASN Foundation will open its award nominations in September, designed to recognize outstanding scientific achievement across all professional career stages. These accolades will notably include the induction of the ASN Class of 2027 Distinguished Fellows, which represents the Society’s highest honor, alongside the Excellence in Nutrition Fellows, which recognizes established leaders who are making a profound impact at the peak of their professional careers.

Reflecting on the trajectory of the Society and the significance of these upcoming back-to-back annual gatherings, Dr. Heather Eicher Miller, PhD, FASN, ASN’s Incoming Vice President and Chair of the ASN Centennial Taskforce, emphasized that these events represent far more than routine calendar entries. "The next two annual meetings represent more than destinations on a calendar. They mark an important moment in ASN’s journey," Dr. Eicher Miller stated. "As we celebrate our centennial in Boston, we’ll honor the remarkable achievements of the past 100 years while setting the course for new discoveries, partnerships, and leaders in nutrition science."
