Cannes 2026: The Home of Longevity Medicine

Three days in Cannes. Forty speakers. Hundreds of physicians from around the world. One question that will run through every session: how do we democratize longevity medicine?

WHAT IS THE longevitydocs CANNES SUMMIT?

The longevitydocs Cannes Summit is a three-day B2B gathering of the world's leading physicians, researchers, investors, and innovators in longevity medicine. June 9-11 in Cannes, it combines two days of keynotes, panels, and fireside chats at the Palais des Festivals with curated experiences across the French Riviera, from beachside luncheons on the Majestic Beach to a black-tie Gala at the Carlton Hotel.

longevitydocs.™ is the world's leading longevity physician community: 1,000+ certified doctors across 50+ countries united by a single conviction - every doctor should be a longevity doctor. We're building the network, education, and experience that transform longevity medicine from a trend into a clinical discipline. 

Why Longevity Medicine Needs a Home

Longevity medicine is the next frontier in healthcare. Physicians must be ready to step into new roles. Companies are scaling the science. Governments are funding it. What's missing is the standard: the protocols, the credential, the community that turns longevity from a trend into a discipline.

This second-edition summit brings together our curated community of 200+ attendees from 30+ countries, including physicians, scientists, researchers, healthcare professionals, investors, startups, policy leaders, and consumer health brands.

Cannes is already home to the Film Festival, Cannes Lions. Longevity medicine is becoming a cultural moment. It needed a home. And if you've ever walked La Croisette in the morning—the Mediterranean air, the markets, the pace of life—you'd swear Cannes looks like a blue zone. Dr. David Luu, Founder



longevitydocs cannes second edition

Longevitydocs Cannes second edition is intentionally paced, connecting movement, nutrition, learning, and community. 

Opening with an all-white evening at Majestic Beach, we meet one another. Summit days begin with group runs and sunrise breathwork, followed by keynotes, panels, and fireside conversations. Attendees gather for beachside chef-curated lunches, bringing us together with the physicians and researchers who shape the day's conversations.

We end with a black-tie Gala & Awards at the Carlton Hotel, where longevity medicine's most impactful work is honored and the inaugural cohort of Certified longevitydocs™ graduates are formally recognized. 

This is not another conference. Together, we're building the home of longevity medicine, with evidence, with ethics, and with equity.

PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

The Summit: Two days of keynotes, fireside chats, panels, and workshops. Forty speakers from Mayo Clinic, Mount Sinai, Sheba, Harvard, NYU, ARPA-H, and Fortune 500 companies. Topics: targeting aging, ARPA-H funding, AI-augmented medicine, GLP-1/peptides, practice scaling, women's longevity, and more.

The Gala, Graduation, & Awards: Black-tie evening at the Carlton Hotel. Red carpet arrival. A seated dinner where you're surrounded by the physicians, researchers, and founders redefining the field. The longevitydocs Awards ceremony will recognize five physicians and innovators for breakthrough achievements. And the moment that defines the night: the inaugural Certified longevitydocs™ Graduation, newly credentialed physicians cross the stage in front of their peers, faculty, and the entire community, becoming part of a new global standard of excellence in longevity medicine. This is our opportunity to officially celebrate and recognize those leading in the field.

The Cannes 2025 Summit wasn't a one-off event. It was the launchpad of a global movement. Longevitydocs is where the brightest minds in medicine, science, and innovation unite to lead, to build, and to redefine what's possible in longevity. - 2025 Attendee
