What happens at a longevity festival?

Article excerpt

A STAT News reporter attended Vitalist Bay, a California longevity conference, and returned with an unexpected finding: the movement extends well beyond wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneurs seeking to live forever on their fortunes. The festival featured discussions of actual longevity science alongside quirky wellness concepts like "bodyoids." The reporting challenges a common stereotype that dismisses the field as purely the obsession of tech billionaires, suggesting the longevity movement has broader appeal and more scientific substance than its caricature.
