The 2060 Longevity Forum returns September 2–3, 2026, in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The forum brings together scientists, investors, founders, and policy advocates for two days focused on a central question: How do we fund the defeat of aging?

This year’s program includes Matthew O'Connor, Ole Mensching, Dylan Livingston, Keith Comito, Emil Kendziorra, Natasha Vita-More, Nader Yatim, Tom Zuber, and many others, with additional speakers soon to be announced.

The format is designed for practical exchange, with talks, startup pitches, investor speed networking, and focused discussion around the scientific, financial, and policy infrastructure needed to move longevity research forward.

Last year, the forum brought together 200 participants from 15 countries, including 100 investors, with $10M in intended transactions.

For the Lifespan.io community, the organizers are offering 50% off ticket prices with code LIFESPANIO2026.

The code is available until July 30.

Tickets: forum.2060.life

September the 2nd and 3rd, 2026, Aix en provence, France. 2060 Longevity forum is an 2 days longevity forum bringing the world's best minds together to extend human healthspan & solve aging.

For longevity science, the goal isn't just a longer life, but a better one. Yet how the field talks about that goal, to the public and to itself, is still a subject of debate. This panel from the Longevity Biomarkers Summit at Infinita City, Roatán digs into that question and more.

Panelists:
Tina Woods | Collider Health
Eric Verdin| CEO, Buck Institute for Research on Aging
Jasmine Smith | CEO, Rejuve.AI
Keith Comito| CEO & President, Lifespan Research Institute

Moderated by: Macsue Jacques, Decoding Longevity Podcast

Highlights:
► Health span vs. lifespan: do we actually need to choose?
► Is the longevity field "shooting ahead of its skis" and ways the field can earn public trust.
► What are the ways we can be ambitious in terms of advocating for maximal life extension, together with healthspan.
► The systemic, political, and economic barriers standing between us and longer, healthier lives, and ways to potentially overcome them.
► Why biomarkers might be the field's most underrated tool right now.
► GLP-1s, epigenetic reprogramming, Alzheimer's light therapy, and the one intervention that might already be free.

For longevity science, the goal isn't just a longer life, but a better one. Yet how the field talks about that goal, to the public and to itself, is still a ...

Your phone might already be the most powerful longevity diagnostic tool you own. Keith Comito makes the case at the Longevity Biomarker Summit, organized by Rejuve.AI at InfinitaCity in Roatán. Full talk on YouTube now!

Keith describes emerging technologies capable of developing fast, cheap, and reliable digital biomarkers utilizing voice, face, and gait analysis, based on easy-to-collect audio and video data. He furthermore describes the utility of working with standards organizations such as the ASTM and NIST as a key approach to uniting the field in the development of composite biomarkers for non-invasively detectable functional fitness, and how this can facilitate the creation of clinical indications for age-related decline and the acceleration of all clinical trials generally.

Beyond clinical-grade kiosk units, mobile phones can collect required data types at scale, laying the ground work for powerful decentralized science possibilities, in addition to FDA-recognized endpoints and actionable clinical indications.

Would you contribute your voice and facial data to develop novel aging biomarkers?
