Disclaimer 60 Introduction 3
With the rapid development of the Longevity industry, the number of events dedicated to this topic has increased proportionately. These events differ in a number of ways including target audience, central topics being covered, entrance fee range, location, venue, etc.
Potential participants need to be aware of such conferences details while planning which conferences to attend. This report aims to serve as a guide in this type of decision making, which also includes a cost-benefit analysis of the conferences themselves.
The report presents the Top-30 conferences related to Longevity, providing key facts and figures on each.
The Top-30 conferences chosen for this list, from 150 Longevity-themed conferences in total, satisfy the following criteria:
● They are well attended, with a large number of speakers as well as participants ● They include at least one panel on the topic of Longevity ● They feature speakers who are professionals in the industry
As a number of conferences for 2020 have not yet been announced, we expect to be updating the report regularly, increasing both the number of the conferences covered and the quantity of information on them.
Furthermore, the conferences on Longevity play a significant role in the development of the industry despite not being regular in some cases. Since the turn of the century, a number of conferences have proven to have a seminal role, often acting as centres of gravity for the industry or any of its constituent technologies. In many cases however their full significance does not become apparent without the benefit of hindsight. It is for these reasons that the report contains a section on the influential past conferences (with an emphasis on the rapid succession of Longevity conferences hosted by prominent financial institutions and media brands in the past few years) that helped to solidify Longevity as the prominent, mainstream topic that it is today.

Top-30 Longevity Conferences 2019-2020: Regional Distribution 6
This chart illustrates the regional distribution of the Longevity conferences. The largest proportion of Longevity conferences in 2019-2020 are held in the US. This confirms that the industry is developing rapidly in the country. However, it is important to note that other regions and countries, namely Europe, UK and Canada have the substantial share of the conferences, and that the proportion of conferences held in these regions appears to be growing. On the other hand, although Asia does not contain a large fraction of the conferences yet, the proportion is likely to increase in the coming years due to the large volume of Longevity-industry dealflow coming out of Asia-based Longevity investors. Top-30 Longevity Conferences 2019-2020: Distribution by Main 7 Topic
Although Longevity, aging and gerontology have similar and often-synonymized meanings, the characteristics of the conferences dedicated to each of this topics differ. While solely gerontology conferences are usually created for quite narrow circles of scientists, the conferences on aging as a whole are attracting a generally wider audience. The conferences that are held under the label of “Longevity” typically aim to attract the most influential people in the Longevity segment, with a higher degree of emphasis on Longevity investors, companies and entrepreneurs, and also typically have much greater entrance costs.
