The Longevity Week
For the 2022 Longevity Week, we will focus on how longevity affects each generation from childhood to working life to later years. Looking at issues such as health and finances, we will explore how we can achieve a healthy life at each and every point in our lifespan.
Please save the date for Longevity Week 2022 on November 14th-18th. If you’re interested in hosting a Longevity Week 2022 event, please email laura@thelongevityforum.com.

Investing in the Age of Longevity
Hosted by Master Investor, American Federation of Aging Research (AFAR) & Longevity Biotech Association (LBA)
Virtual: 09:30 - 17:30
We are on the verge of a lifespan revolution. In the next 30 years, life expectancy is going to rise to between 110 and 120. The nascent but rapidly growing longevity industry has the capacity to change forever how we live, and how (and when) we die. Crucially, it will also influence how we successfully invest for the future. How can we as investors and advisors prosper in this new era of longevity? Our one-day masterclass, Investing in the age of longevity, offers you the rare chance to be involved (and invested) in the birth of a new industry – arguably the greatest investment opportunity of all time.
