Once again, ASN is at the forefront and evolving to bring you even more great content and value. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and the health of our participants, we’ve redesigned and expanded our flagship meeting and education activities to offer more opportunities to learn, share and network all year long.

NUTRITION 2022 will be a year-round experience for learning, networking, and engagement.

Nutrition science is always advancing, and we want to bring the latest research to you more than once a year. That’s why NUTRITION 2022 is now a year-round effort. A new series of programs, including scientific and clinical lectures, workshops, sponsored satellite programs, and focused dialogue sessions will offer opportunities throughout 2022 to discuss the latest science and clinical updates. Plus, most content will be available on ASN on Demand for added convenience.

We remain committed to our mission to advance the science, education, and practice of nutrition, even during these times when planning for future events can be difficult. This innovative redesign of NUTRITION 2022 allows you to better plan for the flagship meeting and engage with the nutrition community with educational and professional development opportunities all year long. We will plan for additional in-person activities when it is safe to do so.

NUTRITION 2022 will convene top scientific researchers, practitioners, global and public health professionals, policymakers and advocacy leaders, industry, media, and other related professionals to advance nutrition science and its practical application. The year-round calendar of a la carte offerings includes something for everyone interested in nutrition.

While attendance is hard to predict in advance for a new format — attendance at ASN’s flagship meeting is on the rise. With the addition of 20+ new activities in addition to NUTRITION 2022 LIVE ONLINE, we offer the widest ever range of topics, speakers, dates, formats, and opportunities to learn, network and advance the science and practice of nutrition.
