2023 Agenda Overview

“A Time of Transformation”

At each annual gathering, the Global Wellness Summit (GWS) explores business through a wellness lens, identifying the most important global trends and investment opportunities. This year’s 17th Summit is dedicated to the theme:

The radically changing wellness economy is experiencing quantum leaps in consumer demand since the pandemic—leading to new intersections in business and investment from wellness and real estate to mental health and technology to beauty and neuroscience to luxury hospitality and sports. These topics and more will be on the robust Summit agenda, with real-time translation available in over 30 languages. While our focus is helping Delegates make business connections, there will be time to explore the vibrant culture of Miami with the backdrop of turquoise waters and sunshine while enjoying the Summit’s signature social and wellness events.
