This November 18–21, leaders across the global wellness economy will gather in Dubai for the 19th annual Global Wellness Summit (GWS).
The theme, “Longevity Through a Wellness Lens,” is a wake-up call for every spa and wellness business leader.
Longevity is no longer a niche – it is shaking up the very foundation of the spa and wellness industry. Advances in science, personalised medicine, biohacking, AI-driven health tools and cutting-edge therapies are transforming what consumers expect from their wellness journeys.
The convergence of medicine, technology and wellness means spas and wellness centres now face pivotal choices to evolve offerings, integrate new longevity-driven services, or risk being left behind.
Set in Dubai – an epicentre of visionary investment and wellness innovation – the Summit offers spa owners and executives a rare opportunity to understand the forces reshaping their future.
Michael Roizen, MD, Cleveland Clinic’s first chief wellness officer and 2025 Summit co-chair, said: “Wellness naturally evolves to longevity. I’m excited to help create a Summit that will bring together the trailblazers and the most important new scientific research in longevity and healthspan.”
This is not just another conference: every delegate is a peer at the forefront of wellness, engaging in true discourse and collaboration. It’s where relationships are forged, policies influenced and the next era of spa and wellness leadership is written.
The registration price increases on 1 October. First-time delegates must request an invitation soon to meet the September 30 deadline.
