Who you'll meet
Longevity clinics, wearables, functional-health platforms, and wellness real-estate operators all need academic partners. Wellist is where those conversations start — often over dinner rather than over email.
Talk submissions and academic-track programming are curated with our advisory board. If you have a paper or a program you want to put in front of industry, this is the week.
Before Miami, and after
The professional directory for the wellness economy. Find the people you need, see who is coming, and set the meetings before you land.
A vetted list
If you work in wellness, apply for a free listed membership. Listed members can search, are discoverable, and can earn keys through engagement.
If you're serious about networking, Keyed members can DM people in the directory directly and set meetings. All Wellist passholders have Keyed privileges.
The meeting and key programs build toward Miami on April 12–18, 2027. You can set a full schedule of meetings, and unlock access and upgrades with earned keys.
Three ways in
Rung 1
Free membership is open to founders, investors, operators, and clinicians in wellness. We review every application. Arrive with an invite or nomination link and you're in immediately.
Rung 2
Academics most often take Forum for the two working days on stage.
Rung 3
Reach the audience instead of renting a table. Wellist sponsors get in front of the same density this page just showed you, before, during, and after Miami.
From the network
“I've presented at plenty of academic conferences. This is the first one where three companies asked to license the work by lunch.”
