Conferences are a measure of the health of a field; typically the more conferences one sees, the broader the efforts and the larger the funding. Most of the best conferences relating to aging research, and the longevity industry that has emerged from that research, feature an even mix of entrepreneurs, scientists, and investors. The networking at these conferences leads to the foundation of new ventures and seed funding for young ventures. This is important in a field in which there are many, many opportunities to make progress. Networking makes the world turn; it is an essential part of the messy, human process of bringing new technology from the laboratory to the clinic.
Longevity industry and related, relevant conferences in the first half of this year were hectic and crowded close together in time, a result of the end of COVID-19 restrictions. Conference organizers tended to pack their delayed events into the March to June conference season. It has been a busy time for those of us who are obliged to attend! Now there will be a few months of pause before the conferences of interest resume in the later part of the year. Here, I'll note a few of the upcoming events that seem worth a look, or were interesting in past years.

Rejuvenation/Longevity biotech is a new, emerging field of medicine. It aims to prevent and reverse diseases of aging by addressing their common root cause, the aging process itself. Rejuvenation therapies aim to reverse or repair age-related cellular changes such as molecular waste, calcification, tissue stiffening, loss of stem cell function, genetic alterations, and impaired energy production. The Summit brings together startups, members of the longevity venture capital / investor ecosystem, and researchers interested in founding or joining a startup - all aiming to create therapies to vastly extend the healthy human lifespan.

A step change in life expectancy, which is already underway and is being driven by both scientific and technological progress, will have vast implications for individuals, governments and society as a whole. To ensure that increases in longevity benefit all of society, a true public and private partnership is required to drive change and create solutions needed to equip us for this new reality. We actively engage with public and private sector stakeholders.
