4th Annual Kohlberg Johnson Family Human Milk Institute Symposium | 2026

Once a year, UC San Diego's Human Milk Institute (HMI) invites world leaders in human milk research and application to La Jolla, California, to share their latest insights and discoveries and discuss the future of the field.

This year will offer another engaging program, including:

• Deep dive satellite sessions on March 10 for those interested in thought-provoking discussions with key opinion leaders in the field;
• Poster sessions and abstracts selected for oral presentation;
• Focus sessions that explore innovative topics;
• "White Couch Conversations" that explore current topics with the goal to advance the field in a meaningful and impactful way.

You don't want to miss it!

Held at the unparalleled waterfront location, Robert Paine Scripps Seaside Forum, we will celebrate the power of human milk and lactation with exciting science and more.

For more information, please visit the HMI Symposium website.
