/ About this event

What will it mean to age well?

Join founders, investors, healthcare leaders, and aging experts for a conversation on how AI, longevity, and new models of care are reshaping the future of aging.

We’ll start with where aging and care stand today, explore what AI and the growing longevity movement could change, and look ahead to the future we want to build—where people can live longer, stay independent, and receive more proactive and connected care.

Agenda

2:00 PM: Welcome & Networking

2: 30 PM: Guided Meditation — 5 min

We’ll begin with a brief guided meditation, a moment to reset from the pace of Tech Week and enter the conversation with a different frame of mind.

2:35 PM Panel: Future of Aging

Part I: The Current State of Aging Where are we today? Our panelists will share the personal experiences that brought them into aging and care, what they’ve learned, and where they see the biggest gaps in today’s system.

Part II: AI, Longevity & the Opportunity Ahead What does “longevity” really mean? What can AI now understand about human health, behavior, and functional aging—and how can those insights translate into earlier, more proactive care?

Part III: The Future of Aging Looking 10–20 years ahead, what should aging look like? We’ll discuss the role technology should play, what should remain fundamentally human, and what kind of future we want to build.

3:10 Audience Q&A — 15 min

Bring your questions and join the conversation.

3:30 Networking

Continue the conversation and connect with others building, investing, and working across the future of aging.
