What is confirmed so far §
The organizer has confirmed the dates (October 1–3, 2026), venue (David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University), leadership (Executive Chair Vadim Gladyshev of Harvard Medical School, with Jesse Poganik as co-chair, joined by the continuing Copenhagen-era leadership: Alex Zhavoronkov, Morten Scheibye-Knudsen, Daniela Bakula, Evelyne Bischof, and Maximilian Unfried), and Tier 1 sponsorship (Insilico Medicine and Eli Lilly as anchors) for the 13th ARDD. This marks a venue change from recent editions held at the University of Copenhagen, and the first ARDD edition outside Europe. Detailed program and full speaker list have not been published as of this update. Four supporting organizations are confirmed: the Longevity Education Hub, Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, Nordic Aging Society, and Boston BioLife.
What to expect, based on recent editions §
Based on the 2025 edition (12th ARDD), expect: a multi-day Main Track; a dedicated Longevity Medicine Track; a Physics in Aging Biology track; an Emerging Science & Technologies Workshop; a Startup Pitch competition; and investor panels (early-stage and growth-stage).
