The Longevity Week
The theme of 2021’s Longevity Forum and Longevity Week was Sustainability in a Decade of Healthy Ageing where we focused on the future of longer living from health to the future of work. We believe there is no one solution to greater lifespans but through addressing the challenges of ageing societies globally we can strive to ensure healthier, longer lives can be achieved by all. Longevity Week was kicked off in Glasgow at COP26 with our annual Longevity Forum on November 9th.
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.
