longevitydocs™ Cannes Summit & Gala is where the world's top physicians, researchers, and industry leaders came together to build the future of longevity medicine. We gather once a year in Cannes to convene, celebrate. This year marked the second annual event, and proved a true defining moment: that together we are writing the future of longevity medicine.
Thank you to every speaker, to the collective of partners, to the first ever, newly graduated Certified longevitydocs.™ class of 2026, to the team behind the scenes, and to Cannes for hosting us. We deeply appreciate the presence of those who joined us. Among the event were 200+ vetted leaders building the future of longevity medicine together, led by evidence, ethics, and trust, with the vision to make it global, accessible, and the new standard of care.
We created the longevitydocs.™ community to connect physicians and democratize longevity medicine. Today, 1,000+ doctors across 68 countries share the mission, Every doctor should be a longevity doctor.™
The Home of Longevity Medicine: Three Days in Cannes
The longevitydocs™ Cannes experience unfolded with the White Party at sunset on the Majestic Beach, an all-white dress code, curated mocktails, live music, a moment where the world's top physicians arrived and immediately felt at home. The following evening, speakers gathered for an intimate dinner where the real conversations began, relationships formed, and excitement built for what was ahead.
The mornings reset the nervous system: Run Club along La Croisette led by leading physicians, breathwork on the beach, movement that aligned with what we teach our patients. Then came the Summit itself: two days at the iconic Palais des Festivals with 40+ speakers, keynotes, panels, and fireside conversations where the field set its agenda for the year ahead.
In between sessions, leadership lunches on the Majestic Beach brought the community together around chef-curated plates and open tables—a space where you could sit across from the speaker who just left the stage. The experience culminated in black-tie at the Carlton Hotel: the awards ceremony honoring the year's most impactful work, the graduation of newly certified physicians, and a celebration of the collective committed to longevity medicine as the future of healthcare.
This was the longevitydocs™ Cannes experience designed by physicians, for physicians.
This is medicine's DeLorean moment. We have the machine. We have the fuel. We have the coordinates. We can see where the patient is headed and change the destination before they get there. And here is the paradox: The most advanced technology in the history of medicine is not pulling us away from our patients. It is giving us back to them. AI handles the noise so we can focus on the signal. The signal was always the person sitting across from us. That is the Back to Medicine paradox. Dr. David Luu, Founder of longevitydocs™
The White Party Powered by Noom
The first evening with the longevitydocs™ community started at the Majestic Pier. All-white dress code, curated mocktails, live music, and a Mediterranean sunset. By the time the evening ended, Cannes already felt like home. This was where the field arrived. This was where connection began.
longevitydocs™ Cannes Speakers & VIP Dinner
The evening that followed brought together speakers, partners, and VIP guests for an intimate dinner. Multi-course cuisine, unhurried conversation, and exactly the kind of access to longevity leaders that doesn't happen at larger gatherings. This was where relationships formed. This was where excitement for the Summit built.
longevitydocs™ Run Club Powered by Eli Health
Before the Summit began, physicians reset with a Zone 2 run along La Croisette, the perfect start to the morning. The run was hosted by two leading physicians who embody the longevity medicine movement. Dr. Vikas Mehta, MD Chief Medical Officer, Cedars-Sinai and Dr. Paul Alexandrov, MD Chief Medical Officer, Clrbody Together, they led physicians through a morning that aligns with what we teach our patients: circadian rhythm, recovery, and community movement.
The longevitydocs™ Summit at the Palais des Festivals
The Summit began at the iconic Palais des Festivals, where 200+ physicians spent two days learning directly from the researchers, clinicians, and founders redefining longevity medicine. Through main-stage talks, intimate panels, and unscripted fireside conversations, the field set its agenda.
We opened with the conviction to Get Back to Medicine. To reconnect practice with purpose. To build infrastructure that keeps patients at the center. Every keynote, every panel, every conversation reinforced one truth: longevity medicine is not a specialization. It is the future of how all medicine should work.
The Summit was opened and hosted under the welcome and support of Thomas de Pariente, Deputy Mayor of Cannes, who holds a portfolio spanning health, sport, and international relations. His opening remarks were not ceremonial. They were a host's recognition of where this is heading. A city that already commands global events sat one step from something larger: becoming the world capital of longevity medicine.
Leadership Lunch on the Majestic Beach Powered by Hone Health
When the morning sessions broke, lunch moved to the Majestic Beach. Chef-curated plates. Open tables. The rare opportunity to sit across from the speaker you just watched on stage. This was where the real medicine happened, in conversation, in connection, in the space between formal talks. After lunch, the afternoon continued with more Summit talks and networking before the evening's main event.

Bioharmony on the Beach Powered by Eli Health
The morning after. Breath, movement, and a community reset. The day started on La Croisette with a sunrise session of playful movement, breathwork, and meditation on the beach, a nervous-system reset that aligned with what we preach: circadian rhythm, recovery, and community. Dr. Tasmin Lewis, Founder & Medical Director, Wellgevity, UK, led the session with expertise rooted in both medicine and movement. Afterward, croissant, coffee, and conversations followed at Vibrant Lounge in the Palais des Festivals.
longevitydocs™ Summit Day Two at Palais des Festivals
We broke down the business of longevity medicine. How to build practices. How to scale innovation. How to navigate the operational challenges of bringing longevity medicine to real patient populations. The agenda this day was strategic, tactical, and real.
Leadership Luncheon Powered by L'Oréal Paris
An executive luncheon on the Majestic Beach. More connection. More conversation. The space where physicians and leaders exchanged ideas about the future they were building together.
