Bohnenberger, Nazarian Join Global Wellness Summit’s 2026 Wellness Real Estate Symposium in New York

Miami, FL – March 31, 2026 – The  Global Wellness Summit ™ (GWS) will bring together leading voices in real estate, hospitality, design, and investment for its fifth annual Wellness Real Estate & Communities Symposium on May 12, 2026, in New York City—exploring how wellness is reshaping the built environment.

Newly announced speakers include two powerful global leaders in hospitality: Bernhard (BB) Bohnenberger, former president of Six Senses and co-founder and CEO of Discover Collection, and Sam Nazarian, founder and CEO of sbe Entertainment.

Bohnenberger will introduce Discover Collection, a private, members-only network of destinations designed around transformative experiences and environmental impact. Nazarian will share insights on The Estate, a next-generation longevity platform developed with Fountain Life, with plans to launch 25 global centers by 2030 integrating hospitality, healthcare, and preventative wellness.

Under the theme “Real Estate Through a Wellness Lens,” the symposium will spotlight how the rapidly growing $548 billion wellness real estate sector is redefining how spaces are designed and experienced to support health, longevity, and quality of life. As wellness becomes a defining force in real estate, the symposium highlights the people and projects setting new standards for human-centered, health-focused environments.

Accredited media can apply to attend here.
