ABSTRACT The 10th American Society for Microbiology Conference on Biofilms was held in person on 9–13 November 2025 in Portland, OR. The diverse mixture of over 300 oral and poster presentations resoundingly embodied the vitality of biofilm research across a wide range of topics and multiple scientific disciplines. Special activities, including a pre-conference symposium for early-career researchers, Lunch and Learn sessions, the Paul Stoodley imaging workshop, and various networking events, further enhanced the attendee experience. As a general theme, the conference was deliberately structured to provide high levels of participation and engagement among early-career scientists.
