Hey VitaDAO community,
Get ready for round two of our Life Extension Conference, this time in the sunny spot of Vitalia.City, Honduras.
After a great first meet-up last year in Zuzalu, Montenegro with over 200 folks joining, we’re excited to dive deeper into longevity and how to stay healthier for longer.
👉Join us: https://lu.ma/vitadao_conference_vitalia
Vitalia — 2-month pop-up city to explore the foundation of a permanent city where we can live healthier, lives, and accelerate progress towards making death optional.
It will harbor 200 renegade life scientists, artists, biotechnology engineers and an entrepreneurially driven community of people that love life and want to see the future.
What’s Happening?
From February 23rd to 25th, we’ve got a packed schedule:
- Feb 23: Kicking off with the basics of life extension and how drugs are developed.
- Feb 24: Exploring different ways to potentially extend life.
- Feb 25: Wrapping up with a showcase of companies and a pitch competition.
