On April 30, 2026, in Playa Vista, CA the 3rd Annual Longevity Leadership Conference is set to bring together influential decision-makers in the healthspan industry for the latest evidence-based opportunities in the field of longevity. Hosted by the Healthspan Collective and Mission Matters Media at the Verizon Innovation Lab, this event eschews the traditional, crowded expo format in favor of a curated mastermind. The founders claim this is where the future of medicine is being written and is a space designed for clinicians, founders, and investors to engage in high-signal conversations about where science is heading and where capital is flowing.
The Morning Agenda: Setting the Foundation
The first half of this intensive one-day event is entirely dedicated to strategic foresight and clinical applications. Kicking off at 10:00 AM, the event opens with “The State of Longevity Leadership” led by Elias Arjan, Adam Torres, and Chirag Sagar.
The morning moves into high-level keynote presentations and panels, including a deep dive into “Cell Signaling: The Future of Regenerative Medicine” and a comprehensive panel on “Peptides, Cell Factors & Hormonal Optimization” featuring Dr. Resham Uttamchandani, Reshma Patel, and Dr. Arvind Chakravarthy. Following a midday networking lunch, attendees can spend time exploring the immersive brand activations.
The Afternoon Agenda: Strategy, Capital, and the XR Stage
As the day progresses into the afternoon (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM), the focus shifts toward strategy, capital, and the intersection of technology and biology. Set against the backdrop of Verizon’s XR Stage—which surrounds speakers with dynamic, high-resolution LED walls—the afternoon features cutting-edge fireside chats. Attendees will explore “Regenerative Aesthetics,” the hidden role of fascia in mobility, and “The Growth of Longevity & Wellness Clinics”. The afternoon sessions round out with critical discussions on microplastics and the regulatory risks facing the longevity industry today.
The Finale: Forward Motion and Closing
The day culminates from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM with a focus on actionable next steps. The final presentation, “The Future of Longevity Leadership,” provides closing insights on where the industry is heading, key takeaways from the day, and an open Q&A with the audience. Following a final group photo, the event transitions into its most critical phase: an hour of open networking dedicated entirely to investor and partner conversations, ensuring the ideas discussed on stage translate into real-world business and capital deployment.
