THE CENTURY SUMMIT 2022


December 13-14
@ Stanford University
In collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity

Thank you for joining us at the 2022 century summit!

In 2020, the Stanford Center on Longevity and the Longevity Project launched the inaugural Century Summit.  Due to the pandemic, the first two Century Summits were entirely virtual, but that did not stop us from bringing together an extraordinary range of researchers, advocates and public figures to explore how we can make century long lives healthier, more productive and more equitable.  In 2021, more than 3,000 people from all 50 states and 28 countries joined us to hear from speakers such as Norman Lear, Ai-Jen Poo, and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI).

This year, for the first time, the Century Summit was a hybrid event, with an in-person audience at Stanford and a virtual audience around the world.  We continued in the tradition of asking smart, creative and innovative people tough questions surrounding the quest for longer and healthier life: can we shift the focus towards “health span” rather than just life span?  Can we conceive of longer careers that are not simply longer versions of our current model but are more balanced, more productive and more equitable?  And can a nation that has nurtured so much generational antipathy rethink intergenerational relationships in a positive and productive manner?  

Thank you to those who joined us on December 13 and 14! All conversations from the event are now available. And, stay tuned for the announcement of the Century Summit 2023!
