The theme for the 2017 Global Wellness Summit will be ‘Living a Well Life’, putting the spotlight on how the future of wellness will impact the individual and how new wellness concepts will transform every aspect of human life.
The conference, which takes place from 9-11 October at the 121-year-old, eco-conscious resort Breakers Palm Beach in Florida, will have a major focus on wellness technology, mental wellness, workplace wellness, and wellness real estate/communities.
And because the theme places the individual at the centre of the wellness conversation, delegates will not only hear from experts about the latest breakthroughs, they will be able to experience them: from personal biomarker testing to how virtual reality is being applied to wellness.
The Summit, which is an invitation-only international gathering that brings together leaders and visionaries to positively shape the future of the $3.7 trillion global wellness economy, is held in a different location each year.
This year’s 11th annual conference will analyse the future of major wellness sectors, including beauty, travel, spa, fitness, nutrition, medicine and the environment.
The agenda is being shaped by three co-chairs. Dr. Gerry Bodeker, whose doctoral studies were at Harvard, researches and advises on integrative medicine and wellness. Maggie Hsu is an Adviser at Zappos.com, a leading online retailer headquartered in Las Vegas specializing in shoes and clothing. Clare Martorana is a global digital media executive, who recently served as president of Everyday Health’s consumer business after a career as senior vice president, general manager and editor-at-large for WebMD.
