Over 80 world-class speakers will provide leading edge, evidence-based knowledge on the achievement of increased human longevity and healthy/disability free life expectancy.

The Brisbane Conference will explore the full spectrum of proven interventions including pharmaceutical, nutritional, clinical, educative, policy, complementary, preventive and restorative means and the scientific underpinnings supporting them. At the same time the Conference will recognise the diversity of ageing individuals, cultures and methodologies within all communities and across the globe with the object of promoting longer and better lives for all.
