ISSN Conference Update: Sleep to Physique Nutrition — Highlights

The ISSN Italy Conference has just wrapped up in Assago, in the Milan metropolitan area, successfully hosted at the NH Milano Congress Centre alongside Spazio Nutrizione 2025.

The Conference brought together international and local experts. Sessions covered sports and fitness nutrition, exercise metabolism, evidence-based supplement use, vitamin considerations, lactate management, recovery strategies, and how to read research efficiently. Live English–Italian simultaneous interpretation was available, making it easy for experts from different language backgrounds to sit down and discuss the latest developments in sports nutrition.

As with previous events, GPNi will upload the presentation materials from this conference to the GPNi portal, and GPNi members can access them for free.

Now, eyes on the United States.
