10th Biennial Berry Health Benefits Symposium
October 7th-9th, 2025 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
It has been twenty years since the first, groundbreaking symposium was held. Since then, the number of scientific studies done on berries, and the knowledge about the benefits they offer to improve human health, has skyrocketed, becoming one of the hottest health topics for consumers. New avenues of cutting-edge berry science continue to be opened and the 2025 BHBS featured scientists from across the globe reporting on their latest research and the newest health benefits offered through berry consumption.
