The 2024 Healthspan Summit, held on October 5-6, 2024, is shaping up to be one of the premier events in the burgeoning field of longevity and healthy aging. Building on the immense success of the inaugural summit, this year’s event promises to be even more transformative, bringing together some of the most respected scientists, researchers, founders, and thought leaders from across the world. Set against the stunning backdrop of the UCLA South Bay Campus in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the summit is an immersive, educational, and inspiring two-day experience dedicated to exploring the latest scientific advancements in longevity.
Elias Arjan, Founder of the Healthspan Summit, emphasizes the significance of the event: “After the resounding success of our inaugural summit, our 2024 event features a stunning venue, more speakers, a larger audience, and activations that embody the principles of extending healthspan.”
Setting the Stage for Longevity Innovation
As the demand for reliable, evidence-based information on longevity grows, the Healthspan Summit aims to meet that need by curating content that is scientifically validated and rooted in practical applications. Longevity science isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better, maximizing quality of life, and extending the period of life that we remain healthy, active, and engaged. This summit will explore how breakthroughs in fields like cellular medicine, biohacking, neuroscience, and nutrition can make a tangible impact on the healthspan of individuals worldwide.
A Stellar Line-Up of Longevity Experts
The summit will feature keynote speakers who are pioneers in their respective fields. These experts will share insights into the science of longevity and offer strategies for improving healthspan, providing attendees with practical takeaways they can integrate into their lives.
Among the speakers is Dr. William Seeds, a leading authority on peptides and cellular medicine. Known for his groundbreaking work on cellular efficiency, Dr. Seeds will discuss how understanding and optimizing cellular health is key to maintaining vitality and preventing age-related decline.
Aubrey de Grey, a visionary biomedical gerontologist and President of the LEV (Longevity Escape Velocity) Foundation, will also present at the summit. De Grey is widely regarded as the pioneer of the modern longevity movement, advocating for breakthroughs that will allow us to significantly extend human life. His concept of “Longevity Escape Velocity” has sparked global interest in the potential for scientific advances to drastically delay the aging process.
Also joining the summit is Stephanie Venn-Watson, Co-Founder and CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics. Her team recently discovered C15:0 deficiency syndrome, a nutritional disorder that affects cellular integrity. The importance of this discovery is immense, as the last time such a nutritional deficiency was identified was more than 75 years ago. Her work offers new hope for improving cellular health and combating age-related fragility.
