​🚀 Kickstart 2026: The New Science of Thriving

​AgeTech Connect 2026 Kick-Off Event

​Join us as we launch our 2026 season with a deep dive into the next frontier of longevity. This isn't just about "aging"—it's about optimizing the human experience through cutting-edge neuroscience, movement as medicine, and AI-driven empathy.

​We are bringing together three visionary leaders who are rewriting the rules of resilience from three distinct angles: the Brain, the Body, and Emotion.

​✨ The Lineup:

• ​🧠 The Science of Senses | Dr. Michael Leon, Memory Air

  • ​Can you smell your way to a better memory? Dr. Leon, a neurobiologist, is pioneering "olfactory enrichment"—a nightly scent therapy backed by research to dramatically improve cognitive function and memory retention in older adults.

• ​💪 Movement as Medicine | Amanda Rees, Bold

  • ​Replacing fear with agency. Amanda is transforming how we approach physical longevity. Bold uses personalized, science-based exercise programs to prevent falls, banish pain, and prove that strength is ageless.

• ​❤️ The Future of Connection | Abhishek Mohanty, CareFlick

  • ​AI with a heartbeat. Abhishek is tackling the loneliness epidemic with Yana, a Generative AI companion that offers meaningful engagement for seniors and vital, real-time insights for caregivers.
