MASTERING THE MARKET

HEALTHSPAN

December 1-3

LIVING LONGER ONLY MATTERS IF THOSE YEARS ARE LIVED WELL.

As wellness leaders and consumers alike recognize that living longer only matters if those years are lived in good health, the focus has shifted toward extending healthspan — the period of life spent in optimal physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.

This three-day virtual conference will unite leading researchers, healthcare professionals, and forward-thinking brands to explore the latest science, market strategies, and product innovations that help people thrive longer.

Join the conversation alongside the innovators and decision-makers moving the industry forward.
