The unconference
for people building
longer lives.
Three days on Margaret Island with 40 longevity builders. No stage, no keynotes, no panels. What happens here cannot be manufactured on a conference floor.

The people are the medicine
The longest-lived people on earth are not the ones with the best supplement stacks. They are the ones surrounded by others who see them, challenge them, and hold them. Connection is the intervention we keep underrating.
So we are not building another conference. We are putting 40 of the most interesting builders in longevity in one beautiful place, and designing every hour for what actually changes things: knowing each other, and building together.
The strongest thing on offer is the calibre of the people in the room.
The journey
Connection, then creation
Two movements, in a setting built for longevity.
01
Connection
First we get to know who's really in the room - the real work, the real people, not names on a badge. By the first evening you're making deals, not small talk.
02
Creation
Then we get to work: hands-on problem solving on what each of us is building, so everyone leaves with more impact than they came in with. Real progress, made together.
The rhythm
Three days, unhurried
Core sessions anchor each day. Early mornings and late evenings are yours - join or rest.
Thu 21
Arrival
Land in Budapest and settle onto Margaret Island. We open with a welcome dinner - the room meets itself for the first time.
Fri 22
Connection
A full day of getting to know each other properly. A movement block in the afternoon for those who want it. Deal-making over dinner and into the evening.
Sat 23
Creation
Hands-on problem solving. We put real challenges on the table and increase each other's impact and influence. The thermal spa in the evening, then dinner.
Sun 24
Exploration
We explore the city together, with space to deepen the relationships that have already started - going further with the people you feel a real pull toward. Leave in the evening, or stay on.
The setting
Margaret Island
A green island in the middle of the Danube, closed to traffic, built around thermal water. We stay at the Ensana Thermal Hotel and use the whole island as our campus - a place that does the work of restoring you while you are here.
- Thermal baths and spa on the island, open into the evening
- An Olympic-sized swimming pool a short walk from the door
- A 2km running circuit wrapping the island, right out front
- A riverside gym and studio overlooking the Danube and the park
- Yoga in the park and morning walks with coffee before breakfast
- Medieval ruins for a quiet reset, and a healthy kitchen that gets it
Who's in the room
40 builders
Founders, doctors, scientists, authors, and some brilliant investors - all building at the edge of longevity. People operating at a level where a single introduction or an honest hour can change the year ahead.
We keep it small and we curate it carefully, because the room is the whole point.
What you leave with
More than memories
Relationships that compound
Co-conspirators, customers, and friends. The kind of trust that opens doors for years.
Deals actually made
Not follow-ups you never send. Real agreements, struck in the room while the momentum is live.
A clear next year
Space at the close of the year to step back and shape where you and your work go in 2027.
