Living Better & Living Longer

Join us on September 12 in New York City for Happi's Longevity & Longevity Conference & Showcase. Register now!

Quality AND quantity. People around the world want to live better and live longer.

In many instances, their wish is being granted. Advancements in hygiene and sanitation, infectious disease management, modern medical care and other public health measures have allowed people to live longer, healthier lives around the world. This has arguably been one of our great collective achievements…and a great business opportunity.

McKinsey & Company estimates that the US wellness market has reached $480 billion, growing 5-10% a year. Overall, 82% of US consumers now consider wellness a top or important priority in their everyday lives. Industry observers note younger people, Gen Z and Millennials, are purchasing more wellness products and services than older generations across dimensions like health, sleep, nutrition, fitness, appearance and mindfulness.

Meanwhile, the pace of science has accelerated. Gordon Moore’s observations and principles that technological efficiencies will continue to propel innovation still seem relevant today as artificial intelligence and advanced technologies reshape our lives and our health.

I invite you to join me for a wide-ranging discussion of aging and health at our Health and Longevity Conference & Showcase on Thursday, September 12 in New York City. The one-day, in-person event will feature presentations that cover topics such as under-served women’s health needs, the thriving fitness and active nutrition market, stress and sleep, the evolving brain and cognition segment, health claims substantiation, today’s regulatory landscape, as well as AI, advancing technology and much more. 

For more details, please visit HealthandLongevityConference.com. I look forward to welcoming you there—and to a series of thoughtful and engaging discussions.
