Description
"Given the title of the event I certainly hope there are lively conversations about preserving those aspects of macrobiotic philosophy that are foundational to the principles and values of the past while adapting to the social and environmental realities of the present. "
Bill Tara
Dear friends,
We are happy to share that the International Macrobiotic Conference 2026 is now officially confirmed.
It brings us great joy to see this year's gathering taking shape, with participants already registered from Germany, the UK, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, the USA, Japan, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
We are continuing with the preparations and shaping the programme, and we are also pleased to share that we have already begun receiving inspiring proposals for lectures and presentations.
If you are still considering joining us,
there is still time to benefit from the early-bird registration fee:
350 EUR for registrations with full payment received by 7 July.
After that, the conference fee will be 395 EUR.
As some of you have asked additional practical questions,
here are a few useful reminders:
◾ The conference fee includes brunches, dinners, tea and refreshments, the conference programme, transport to and from Zrno Organic Farm on the third day, and Croatian VAT.
It does not include accommodation, travel, airport transfers, or meals outside the conference programme.
◾ Meals during the conference will follow a vegan, organic, and macrobiotic concept, with gluten-free options available. Please also note that coffee will not be served at the conference venue.
◾ The basic daily schedule (still being finalised and subject to minor adjustments) is planned from 9:00 to 17:00, followed by dinner. The final day will have a slightly different schedule due to the visit to Zrno Organic Farm and the closing gala dinner.
◾ We recommend arriving on 19 October and departing on 23 October. The conference is non-residential, so participants are asked to arrange their own accommodation. However, we are happy to provide suggestions or help connect participants who may wish to share accommodation.
If you wish to arrive earlier or stay longer, we will be delighted to suggest places to visit and things to see in and around Zagreb.
