Vitalist Bay returns: four day longevity festival in the Bay Area, May 14 to 17

I can’t recommend this event enough. Its the best longevity-oriented event I’ve been to.

For the second time in a row Adam Gries and Nathan Chang have bootstrapped an ambitious longevity event in Berkeley, California. Last year’s event spanned two months. This year the same depth of content and programming is packed into a single four-day weekend, May 14 to 17. If you’re a longevity researcher, investor, or serious biohacker within reach of the Bay Area, this is worth the trip. The speaker list covers virtually every known name in longevity and biology of aging, making this an exceptionally appetizing event.

Vitalist Bay features six different tracks where each addresses a notable area in longevity science.These themes will dive into subjects like artificial intelligence in biotechnology, scientific findings and biopreservation. Among these themes, the four days also feature many notable speakers and investors in academia and startups. For instance, confirmed speakers include Joe Betts-LaCroix, Aubrey de Grey, Michael Snyder and many more.

Vitalist Bay is much more than talks. Attendees get access to state-of-the-art biomarker testing including GCM and blood tests, workshops run by industry leaders, cold plunges, yoga sessions and a supplement room. The programming is designed so you leave with both knowledge and a measurable baseline of your own health.

And also for this year Vitalist Bay is giving a special deal to fast acting Rapamycin members:

As a special offer for Rapamycin news members, the first 10 people to use code RAPAMYCIN20 get a DEXA scan (worth 150$) plus 20% off their ticket.

Buy your ticket, and Get your dexa scan here. The prices will rise on Sunday.

Hello Rapa family!! Long time no see! A few days after this same conference last year my husband and I found out we were expecting and I was already a few weeks along:) I had to pause all my biohacking and didn’t come here much to not get tempted to do anything funny while pregnant​:crazy_face: I got my invite to Vitalist Bay and just purchased my tickets, I’ll be there all 4 days and can’t wait to see you there, I have such great memories of last year and can’t wait to see you all! And yes, I think now I have to wear my pink coat again​:rofl::rofl::rofl:
