We are excited to reflect on the outstanding success of the 5th Plant Microbiome Conference, held in 2024 in Amsterdam. The event brought together leading scientists, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest breakthroughs in plant microbiome research, fostering rich dialogues and collaborations across disciplines.

The previous conference featured an impressive lineup of keynote speakers and cutting-edge presentations that showcased emerging trends and their practical applications in plant microbiome studies in agriculture, ecology, and biotechnology. Attendees were able to engage with pioneering research and contribute to critical discussions that are shaping the future of the field.

Networking was a major highlight, with participants forming meaningful connections that have led to collaborative projects and innovative research initiatives. The exchange of ideas during the event not only advanced scientific understanding but also forged strong professional relationships, making a lasting impact on the community.

As we approach the 6th Plant Microbiome Conference, we are eager to build on the momentum of the previous edition. We look forward to offering another outstanding platform for cutting-edge research presentations, collaborative discussions, and invaluable networking opportunities.

We thank all the participants and organizers of the 5th Plant Microbiome Conference for their invaluable contributions and look forward to welcoming everyone back —along with new faces— for another impactful event this year.
