Who you'll meet

Six 2027 verticals — every one wants your data.

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.
