What it is: Longevity Summit 2023, a meeting of the leading people in the longevity industry. It's happening this summer, August 17-20, in Dublin, Ireland.

Why you might want to go: Longevity Summit is the "premier annual conference" of Aubrey De Grey's Longevity Escape Velocity Foundation.

Many big names have joined. The announced keynote speakers truly feature the most illustrious personalities in the field of longevity, including some I have written about recently:

• David Sinclair (Harvard professor and perhaps the most well-known face of longevity science)

  Irina Conboy (UC Berkeley professor and author of the recent plasma dilution study in humans)

• Nir Barzilai (Professor at Albert Einstein School of Medicine and long-suffering promoter of the TAME study)

• George Church (the Harvard genetics professor who has come up with real-life technologies to revive dinosaurs and eliminate all viruses)

• Bryan Johnson (the Silicon Valley multimillionaire who has turned himself into a well-funded longevity human guinea pig)

• Steve Horvath (UCLA professor who came up with various epigenetic aging clocks)

• ... and, of course, your very own Youthspan Hound

Yes, you read that right: I will be attending Longevity Summit Dublin.

I am not a longevity scientist. and I am sure that much of the discussion will be over my long, droopy, dachshund ears.

But I have experienced before that attending a conference can be a great way to quickly learn more about a topic, to make connections, and to get exposed to opportunities I would never get exposed to otherwise. And the profile of people who will be presenting at this conference is too good to miss.

In case you feel the same, or in case you'd like to meet me and mingle while we sip our alchohol-free cocktails, here's where you can buy a ticket to this year’s Longevity Summit:
