Every year, some of the sharpest minds in sports nutrition gather under one roof to share the latest breakthroughs, challenge outdated dogma, and shape the direction of the industry. In 2025, that roof happens to sit above the oceanfront luxury of the Opal Grand Resort and Spa in Delray Beach, Florida, where the 22nd Annual International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference & Expo will take place from June 23 to 25.
This highly respected three-day event brings together academics, researchers, dietitians, industry professionals, and students to explore the front lines of nutritional science, from molecular research to performance applications.
