One of the main objectives of this first meeting was\nto unite biomedical researchers who were studying human-associated microbes\nwith those researchers using other model systems to study beneficial bacteria,\nincluding the evolution and diversity of such associations. This forum brought\ntogether individuals who typically do not interact scientifically, such as\nbacteriologists, immunologists, ecologists, and invertebrate biologists. The\nvalue of assembling scientists who study diverse model systems and the\nsubsequent explosion of microbiome research led to the biennial Beneficial\nMicrobes Conference that met six times while under sponsorship from the\nAmerican Society for Microbiology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, the meeting has been run independently in Madison, Wisconsin.
