FitTech in the Longevity Age
PEAQ Wellness is the Middle East’s first social wellness club Credit: PEAQ
Just a few years ago, longevity was a niche corner in science and medicine, but now billions are being spent on research and it’s become a global movement transforming wellness, healthcare, hospitality, travel, fitness and more
– Nancy Davis, chief creative officer and executive director, Global Wellness Summit

Longevity is no longer an abstract concept – it’s a market force reshaping how people train, recover and live.
As consumers demand solutions that extend healthspan, fitness and wellness businesses are under pressure to integrate technology, science and lifestyle medicine in entirely new ways. Those who innovate will lead; those who don’t risk irrelevance.
From 18–21 November 2025, the Global Wellness Summit comes to Dubai for the first time, under the theme Longevity Through a Wellness Lens.
This invitation-only gathering brings together leaders in the US$6.3 trillion wellness economy: CEOs, technologists, investors and visionaries shaping the future of health and performance.
For the FitTech community, the implications are profound. The gym of tomorrow is a connected wellness hub – merging digital health platforms, recovery and performance technology, AI-driven personalization and hybrid experiences. Members now expect data-backed solutions that optimise not only fitness, but lifespan itself.
Delegates will also have the rare chance to experience innovation up close on the Wellness in Dubai Tours, curated and led by Kathryn Moore, founder & CEO of Spa Connectors. With nearly 20 years in global wellness and hospitality, Moore will guide participants through a full-day exploration of pioneering destinations—from SIRO at One Za’abeel and the Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie to Next Health, Atlantis The Royal’s AEON Clinic, PEAQ Wellness and more.
The Summit is unlike any other event: there are no spectators, only leaders. Every delegate contributes, creating collaborations and opportunities that don’t happen elsewhere.
Act now. Prices rise 1 October, and first-time delegates must request an invitation before September 30.
