What is the future of human life? The evolutionarily natural lifespan of a human is less than 40 years. Yet thanks to scientific progress, we are expecting to live twice as long. With advancements in biomedical technology, organ and limb replacements, and human augmentation, science is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human.
With over 500 registrations, The Future of Longevity explored how breakthroughs in science and technology are reshaping the way we age, work, and live. The event brought together researchers, industry leaders, and innovators to discuss what it means to thrive in a world where the definition of human life is evolving.
