Third Roundtable of Longevity Clinics will unite experts from all over the world to advance standards, training and collaboration in the growing longevity field.
As the field of longevity medicine expands, a growing number of clinics are translating the science of aging into preventive and regenerative care. The annual Roundtable of Longevity Clinics – now entering its third year – has become a central meeting point for those guiding this transformation. Convened by the International Institute of Longevity and hosted at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, California, the three-day event (6–8 December 2025) aims to bridge research and practice by bringing together leading clinicians, scientists and entrepreneurs from across the world.
Speakers include Dr Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute and a leading figure in the biology of aging; psychologist Dr Ellen Langer, known for her pioneering work on the mind–body connection; lifestyle medicine advocate Dr Dean Ornish; entrepreneur and physician Dr Peter Diamandis; eminent geroscientist Dr James Kirkland; and Dr Nir Barzilai, a leading researcher on the genetics of longevity. The program also features insights from clinics shaping the delivery of longevity care, among them Fountain Life, Human Longevity, Longevity Center Europe, Chi Longevity, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, Reborne Longevity, Cedars-Sinai LA, SHA, Clinique La Prairie, YEARS and Everest Health.
Longevity.Technology: The pace at which longevity clinics are multiplying worldwide speaks both to demand and to conviction – a belief that prevention, optimisation and age-management should be woven into the fabric of medicine, not left at its fringes. Yet this rapid expansion also sharpens the need for coherence: shared standards, validated diagnostics, transparent data and professional training that can sustain credibility as well as growth. Clinics cannot thrive on aspiration alone – they need infrastructure, governance and evidence-based practice that will stand up to scrutiny from regulators, insurers and, not least, patients.
Now in its third year, the Roundtable continues to build on its own momentum, keeping pace with the sector it represents and reflecting its shift from promise to practice. Bringing together clinic founders, researchers and biotech leaders under one roof creates the possibility of alignment – not in ideology, but in quality and accountability. As the sector’s clinical sophistication accelerates, so must its mechanisms for proof and professional development; longevity medicine will only fulfil its promise when it is both scientifically rigorous and accessible – a discipline that redefines prevention while remaining rooted in good clinical sense.
Expanding scope and expertise
This year’s agenda widens its lens beyond biology alone, exploring emotional wellbeing, psychological resilience and the increasingly recognised role of oral health in systemic aging. The inclusion of global experts in biological dentistry – such as Dr Miguel Stanley of White Clinic and Dr Dominik Nischwitz, Founder of Biodentistry Global Standards – signals an appetite for integrated approaches that view healthspan as a function of whole-system optimization.
The Roundtable will also highlight educational pathways for physicians entering the field, including new training programs designed to equip practitioners with the skills and standards required for responsible, evidence-based delivery of longevity interventions. This emphasis on education reflects a growing awareness that the sector’s credibility depends not only on technology and data, but on professional rigour and ongoing medical development.
Collaboration and credibility
Across the three days, discussions are expected to examine how clinics can adopt validated biomarkers, harmonise assessment tools and create frameworks for ethical data use – areas that remain fragmented across geographies and business models. The participation of institutions such as the Buck Institute, Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic lends additional scientific weight, reinforcing the sense that longevity medicine is increasingly intersecting with mainstream healthcare rather than existing in parallel to it.
The Roundtable also serves as a platform for companies driving innovation across the longevity ecosystem – from diagnostics and digital health to AI and preventive care. This year’s discussions will explore the most effective diagnostic methods and responsible solutions shaping clinical practice, with insights from leading organizations including TruDiagnostic, Vibrant Wellness, Molecular You. The program will also delve into the growing role of AI-driven tools in longevity clinics, highlighting contributions from Reya and Longevity AI, whose technologies are advancing personalized assessment, intervention design and outcome tracking. We will also hear from representatives of the Methuselah Foundation, a research-driven nonprofit advancing innovation in longevity science. Further expertise will be provided by LifeMetrics, MediPredict, Caristo, Empower Sleep, GlycanAge and Circulate Health, each illustrating the diversity of innovation shaping this sector. Educational initiatives, such as those led by the International Institute of Longevity, HLMS, Longevity Academy and Longevity Docs, underscore the Roundtable’s broader commitment to professional development and knowledge exchange within this rapidly maturing field.
Speaking to Longevity.Technology ahead of the Roundtable, Joanna Bensz, Co-Chair of the International Institute of Longevity and Founder and CEO of Longevity Center Europe, underlined the importance of unity and standards as the field matures.
“As longevity medicine enters a new era, with a lot of hype around it, collaboration and shared standards are essential,” she said. “The Roundtable brings together clinics, scientists and innovators who are shaping this field into a credible, responsible, evidence-based discipline – one that translates the science of aging into measurable improvements in human health and wellbeing.”
Echoing this call for unity, Dr Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, highlighted the field’s growing maturity and clinical potential.
“Longevity medicine is no longer a distant promise – it’s becoming a clinical reality,” he told us. “By uniting global leaders and practitioners, we’re not only advancing the science of aging, but redefining what preventive and regenerative care can mean for future generations.”
Toward a sustainable longevity ecosystem
The challenge for the clinics sector now lies in balancing innovation with consistency – translating rapid discovery into safe, scalable and affordable care. As longevity becomes a recognised medical specialty, it will demand the same structural support as any other branch of medicine: licensing frameworks, longitudinal outcome data, continuing education and the trust of both patients and policymakers.
“Since launching Longevity Clinics World earlier this year, we’ve gained a sharper view of how rapidly this sector is evolving,” said Phil Newman, founder and CEO of Longevity.Technology. “Clinics are no longer working in silos but beginning to look outward – seeking consistency, transparency and clinical validation. The Roundtable provides the space where that collective ambition can start to take shape.”
The Roundtable has become one of the few venues where these themes can be debated among peers rather than in isolation; its steady expansion mirrors that of the field itself – reflective, ambitious and increasingly confident in its scientific footing.
“We’re delighted that within just two years, something that started as an idea has, thanks to the amazing work of our team led by our Event Director, Natalia Słoma, become one of the most important gatherings for longevity clinics worldwide,” said Joanna Bensz. “I’m deeply grateful for everyone’s dedication and for the incredible lineup of esteemed speakers, clinics and companies who have joined us throughout these years. I can’t wait for the upcoming third edition this December – it will be our biggest yet.”
