I haven't found the same question or topic, so would you please help me with this sentence?

"It is worth mentioning, that the conference will bring together Ukrainian and foreign practicing physicians, managers of health centres, developers of software products and medical equipment providers, as well as active users of medical software."

Do we need a comma before "that"?

thanks.

Hi,

No comma needed.

Anutina, why not getting rid of "It's worth mentioning that"? It doesn't add anything to sentence, imho.
