ISSN 2026 Conference: Where Sports Nutrition Moves Forward

02 Jun, 2026

If you care seriously about sports nutrition, ISSN is hard to ignore.

The International Society of Sports Nutrition, better known as ISSN, has long been one of the key professional communities for sports nutrition researchers, dietitians, coaches, students, educators, and industry professionals around the world. Its annual conference is more than just another academic event. It is where new research is introduced, long-standing ingredients are re-examined, and the future direction of the field starts to take shape.

At ISSN, you see both the science and the setting where that science needs to work. You hear about data, but you also hear about athletes, teams, real-world practice, product development, and the many decisions that happen outside the lab.

This is where familiar sports nutrition topics such as creatine, beta-alanine, essential amino acids, and caffeine are discussed with fresh evidence. It is also where newer and fast-moving topics—GLP-1, wearable technology, women’s sports nutrition, perimenopause, carbohydrate periodization in soccer, and more—are brought into a more serious, evidence-based conversation.

In 2026, the 23rd Annual ISSN Conference and Expo will take place in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida. Across three days, many of the most important questions in sports nutrition will be brought together in one room.
