The Atlas / Events
Where the field convenes
The conferences, scientific meetings, and investor gatherings that organize the healthspan year. Upcoming events lead, sorted soonest first; past editions stay on record.
42 events are on record: 14 upcoming, 27 past editions kept as a dated record and 1 cancelled or withdrawn and kept on record. Every event is anchored to a verified source and its status is derived from that date, not hand-set. Recurring events whose next date is not yet announced appear under their most recent edition until the new date is confirmed.
Upcoming longevity conferences and events · 14 Soonest first
Asia-Pacific International Healthy Longevity Summit 2026
The clearest sign that longevity medicine has an Asia-Pacific institutional layer and not just a clinic layer. Hong Kong is already the atlas's most-verified Asian market, so a summit run by a regional medicine society is where that market's practitioners are addressable.
WALC 2026, World Aging and Longevity Conference
A hybrid academic gerontology meeting. Japan is reasonably covered at the clinic level and thin on research institutions, so this is where that gap gets named.
Lifespan Summit 2026
Frames longer life across healthspan, wealthspan and workspan. That is the ageing-society framing rather than the clinical one, and it is the framing the atlas does not currently cover at all.
Roundtable of Longevity Clinics (4th Edition)
Operator-focused peer convening exclusively for longevity clinic leaders - small-format, no fluff; 3rd edition at Buck Institute drew Nir Barzilai; the only event where clinic business models, protocols, and economics are compared openly.
Frontiers Health
The original European digital-health conference, now covering longevity diagnostics, AI clinical tools, and precision medicine - smaller and more curated than HLTH, with stronger European payer and health-system perspective.
Longevity Forum Annual (Longevity Week)
Oxford-anchored Longevity Week connecting Jim Mellon's investment network with Oxford academic geroscience; frames longevity through finance and public policy - distinct from commercial conferences; strong investor/policy crossover audience.
Nutra Healthspan Summit
Nutrition science meets business strategy; established publisher.
Foresight Vision Weekend (USA)
Foresight's flagship frontier-tech gathering in SF, with longevity biotech as a central track alongside nanotechnology and AI for science - unusually high density of researcher-builders working at the speculative edge of the field.
HLTH USA
12,000+ health-innovation leaders; longevity is now a dedicated track as AI diagnostics, biomarkers, and preventive health shift from wellness to clinical investment thesis - best cross-sector visibility event in North America.
A4M Longevity Fest (World Congress)
The de facto annual practitioner gathering - 8,000+ attendees, the biggest exhibit floor in longevity medicine, and the event where clinical protocols get their widest adoption across the US clinician base.
JPMorgan 45th Annual Healthcare Conference
Invitation-only; the event where ~8,000 global healthcare decision-makers set biotech investment priorities for the year - longevity therapeutics is now a core track as aging-targeting drugs approach pivotal readouts.
Precision Medicine World Conference (PMWC)
Co-hosted by Stanford/UCSF/Yale with 2,500+ senior decision-makers; precision medicine and longevity increasingly converge at biomarker, genomics, and AI-diagnostics - the most academically credentialed US precision medicine convening.
Unlock Healthy Longevity Conference (NUS Singapore)
Asia-Pacific's premier geroscience clinical meeting, anchored by Prof. Andrea Maier - uniquely focused on geroprotectors, repurposed drugs and regulatory science; the bridge between Asian longevity research and global clinical practice.
INNOCOS Summit London 2027
The London edition of the beauty and wellness longevity circuit, and the one furthest out on the calendar the atlas records. Held here mainly so the 2027 shape of the circuit is not blank.
Past editions on record · 27 Most recent first
Healthspan Summit 2026
4th annual B2B event at 'Above the Block', LA - 3 tracks (Longevity Medicine/Clinical Innovation, Aesthetic Innovation/Beautyspan, Fitness/Recovery/Human Performance); Bryan Johnson spoke in 2023 before 'Don't Die' went mainstream; tickets launched Jun 18 2026; best mid-market US clinical-operator event between LIC (Sep) and A4M (Dec).
CORRECTED 2026-09-19: the row carried October 1-3 2026. The organiser's own site states October 2-3 in four independent places, including the page title "Healthspan Summit 2026 - Longevity Industry Event | Los Angeles" heading "October 2 - 3, 2026 - Los Angeles", the stat block "Oct 2-3 2026 Los Angeles, California", and the ticket line "Every pass covers both Summit days - October 2-3, 2026 - Los Angeles", which also settles that it is a two-day event and not three. Official venue: Above the Block, West LA.
ARDD - Aging Research & Drug Discovery Meeting
The world's largest dedicated aging-science meeting, and in 2026 it left Copenhagen for Harvard. Where epigenetic clocks, senolytics and longevity drug programmes get argued in front of the people who run them. This is the science layer of the category, not the marketing layer.
13th edition. CORRECTED 2026-08-25: the row previously carried 24-28 August 2026 in Copenhagen, which is the date and city aggregators still show. RE-READ 2026-09-09 against agingpharma.org itself, which now states every element directly: the home page says "Welcome to the 13th Aging Research and Drug Discovery Meeting" and "Main Program, October 1-3", the location page says "Online at agingpharma.org" and "On-site at the David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University", and the registration page says "October 1-3, 2026" and "David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University, Boston". The venue no longer rests on third-party coverage. Tracks include a Longevity Medicine Forum on October 1. THE MOVE: the Copenhagen edition was cancelled in March 2026, which is fact. The reason is NOT: longevity.technology reported on 2026-03-18 that Morten Scheibye-Knudsen announced on LinkedIn that "ARDD 2026 in Copenhagen is canceled" and that the University of Copenhagen "would not be able to host the conference in the current form". The university's motive was never made public and is not asserted here. Poster abstract submission closed on August 31 with decisions announced in September, recorded here because the sheet carries no abstract_deadline column. RE-READ 2026-09-19, every element confirmed again and the Boston attribution settled from the organiser rather than inferred: the registration page states verbatim "October 1-3, 2026 David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University, Boston", so Boston is the organiser's own word and not a reading of the Allston address. The location page gives "20 Western Avenue, Allston" and adds a second on-site building, One Milestone at 1 Milestone Street, alongside "Online at agingpharma.org". Chairs listed: Vadim Gladyshev Executive Chair, Harvard Medical School. The aggregator layer has NOT corrected itself; see the events verification pass of 2026-09-19. RE-READ 2026-09-29: every element unchanged on agingpharma.org (13th meeting; October 1-3, 2026; David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University, Boston; online at agingpharma.org). The registration page now reads Registration closed for on-site attendance and offers a Virtual Ticket at $49 for online livestreaming of all speaker sessions and workshops. No Copenhagen listing remained in the row; nothing to replace.
International Longevity Summit Madrid 2026
Speaker-led and research-facing, with Maria Blasco confirmed. Closer to the science end than the clinic end, so it feeds the modality backlog rather than the entity backlog.
Read 2026-09-09 on the organiser's own site, which replaces the X post the row was promoted from. It states "The International Longevity Summit, on September 30 - October 1, 2026" and "International Longevity Summit: Sep 30 & Oct 1, 2026", at the Royal National Academy of Medicine of Spain. The recorded dates were correct. The site's footer shows "September 28 - October 1 2026" because optional UNESCO World Heritage tours run Sep 28-29; those are not the summit and are not recorded as its dates.
Latin America Longevity Summit Canada 2026
Positioned as a Canada to Latin America bridge, and both sides of that bridge are thin on the map. Canada sits at 8 organizations and Latin America only cleared zero this month, so the exhibitor list is a real discovery target rather than a networking listing.
Longevity Investors Conference (LIC)
The field's most selective investor gathering - 20% acceptance rate, 3 nights at Le Grand Bellevue, AI-powered matchmaking - this is where longevity capital is actually allocated; no other event comes close for deal signal density.
Next Health Longevity Summit
A longevity clinic chain running its own summit behind a country-music headliner. Read it as customer acquisition rather than a scientific meeting, which is exactly why it matters: it is what this category looks like when it starts selling to a mainstream American audience.
INNOCOS Summit Zurich 2026
Where beauty and consumer wellness brands meet longevity claims. The commercial edge of the category rather than the clinical one, and the place where longevity language gets attached to products the atlas does not record.
Read 2026-09-09, the day it opens. The organiser's own site states "INNOCOS Summit Zurich 2026, Five Zurich Hotel, Zurich, Switzerland, September 9-11, 2026". The candidate stream had captured 2026-09-09 alone, which is the opening day and not the run, so this row would have derived to past a day later while the summit was still sitting.
Biohackers World Chicago 2026
A consumer biohacking expo, not clinical medicine. Useful as a read on what the retail end of the category is selling, and a poor source of atlas entities.
Royan International Twin Congress
A stem cell and regenerative medicine congress with a reproductive biomedicine congress running beside it. Recorded as what it is. It is NOT a longevity conference and must never be described as one: the regenerative-medicine half overlaps the atlas, the reproductive-biomedicine half does not.
Twin congress: a stem cell and regenerative medicine congress running alongside a reproductive biomedicine congress. Re-read 2026-09-09 on royan.org, which names the two halves as the 27th Royan International Reproductive Medicine Congress and the 22nd Royan International Stem Cell Technology Congress, held "from September 2 to 4, 2026" at "Shahid Beheshti University, Abu Rayhan Hall". The recorded dates were correct. The word longevity does not appear on the congress page, which is why this row must never be described as a longevity conference.
NBJ Summit 2026
An invitation-only nutrition-industry retreat rather than a longevity meeting, recorded because the supplement and functional-nutrition trade is where a large share of consumer longevity spending actually lands.
Read 2026-09-09 on the organiser's own site, which states "NBJ Summit returns July 27-30, 2026, at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA" and gives "Event Information July 27-30, 2026". The candidate stream carried 2026-07-30, which is the closing day and not the start. Recorded as a past edition.

Withdrawn by the organizer · 1 Kept on record
Vibrant Longevity Summit
Vibrant Wellness's flagship clinical gathering at Omni Barton Creek - bridges functional lab diagnostics and clinical longevity protocols; captures the segment of US clinicians operationalizing multi-omics in practice.
CANCELLED for 2026. Read 2026-09-19 on the organiser's own site, which carries a site-wide banner: "We are pausing the Summit to better focus on what we do best, advancing precision medicine and supporting the providers who are changing healthcare." and "For Vibrant Summit and other events-related questions, please contact [email protected]". The page no longer states any date: every 2026 string on it is an image asset path, the speaker roster is labelled "Check out 2025's roster" and the footer reads "Copyright 2025 Vibrant Wellness". The row previously carried September 24-26 2026 and would have rendered as the first upcoming event five days out. The organiser says "pausing" rather than cancelling the series, so the series may return; the 2026 edition will not run. The anchor date is kept as the record of the withdrawn edition and the status is forced rather than derived.
