Livelong Media announced that its second‑annual Livelong Women’s Health Summit will take place September 25‑26, 2026 at New York’s Hilton Midtown, gathering more than 2,000 professionals and over 100 clinicians to explore evidence‑based longevity strategies through a technology‑first agenda.
The two‑day summit, headlined by actress‑activist Jane Fonda, marks a notable shift in how health‑focused conferences are engineered. Rather than a traditional lecture series, the event is built on a digital platform that blends programmatic registration, real‑time data dashboards, and AI‑curated session recommendations. Attendees will earn up to 10 CE/CME credits, while a dedicated workshop with Pinnacle Conference offers additional AMA‑approved credits for physicians and allied health professionals.
Livelong Media’s approach mirrors trends seen in ad tech, where audience segmentation, first‑party data, and cross‑device tracking have become standard. By leveraging a Customer Data Platform (CDP) to capture registration intent, session behavior, and post‑event feedback, the summit promises granular insights for sponsors and speakers alike. The data pipeline feeds into a proprietary analytics engine that measures engagement at the session, speaker, and exhibitor level, enabling real‑time optimization of exhibit hall traffic and breakout masterclass capacity.
“Women are tired of being talked down to and sold to,” said co‑founder Katie Gaudu. “They want the research, the trade‑offs, and the room to decide for themselves.” The summit’s format reflects that demand: 15 breakout masterclasses, 40 round‑table discussions, and an exhibit hall featuring 25+ brands spanning diagnostics, wellness, and longevity tech. Each track is mapped to specific audience personas—ranging from hormone‑focused clinicians to data‑driven marketers—allowing sponsors to target their messaging with the precision typically reserved for programmatic advertising.
From an industry standpoint, the event’s tech stack could set a new benchmark for health‑focused B2B gatherings. Competitors such as Informa’s Health & Wellness Expo still rely on static agendas and manual badge printing, whereas Livelong’s platform automates credentialing, delivers personalized session feeds via a recommendation engine, and integrates third‑party identity resolution to maintain compliance with HIPAA and GDPR.
The summit also underscores the growing convergence of health data and advertising technology. According to Gartner, 70 % of marketers will rely on AI‑driven insights for audience activation by 2025, a trend that spills over into health education where personalized content can improve patient outcomes. IDC predicts the CDP market will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 % through 2027, suggesting that platforms like Livelong’s could become the de‑facto infrastructure for large‑scale health events.
Enterprise marketing teams stand to benefit from the summit’s data‑rich environment. Brands can measure attribution not just by booth visits but by post‑event lead conversion, using multi‑touch attribution models that combine first‑party event data with third‑party intent signals. The inclusion of AI‑driven personalization mirrors capabilities found in leading DSPs such as The Trade Desk, offering a familiar workflow for marketers accustomed to programmatic targeting for exhibitors.
While the summit’s pricing tiers—General Admission at $395, Premier at $495, and VIP at $895—are modest compared with high‑end industry conferences, the added value of CE credits and exclusive networking with Jane Fonda and top clinicians could justify the investment for firms seeking thought leadership in longevity.
Market Landscape
The health conference market, traditionally dominated by static, venue‑centric events, is undergoing a digital transformation. Platforms that combine audience data, AI‑powered personalization, and cross‑device tracking are emerging as the new norm. Leading ad tech players—Google, Amazon, Microsoft—have already rolled out event‑focused solutions that integrate with their broader marketing ecosystems. Livelong’s model aligns with this shift, offering a hybrid of in‑person networking and a programmable data layer that rivals the capabilities of leading DSPs and DMPs.
Meanwhile, privacy regulations continue to tighten. The European Union’s ePrivacy Regulation and the U.S. state‑level privacy laws (e.g., CCPA, CPRA) require explicit consent for data collection, making first‑party data strategies essential. Livelong’s reliance on its own CDP reduces dependence on third‑party cookies, positioning the summit as a privacy‑first alternative in a market where 62 % of B2B buyers cite data security as a top concern (Forrester, 2023).
