There’s nothing more inspiring than being around like-minded folks with a shared mission—swapping ideas, embracing new goals, and challenging each other to reach new heights. That inspiration becomes even more impactful when the shared mission is your own health and well-being. 

Wellness retreats and conferences are an excellent way to meet other enthusiasts, connect with top experts, hone your own habits, and explore the latest tech, research, and innovations. These gatherings can be the refueling your body and mind need, inspiring you to try something new or reignite your well-being passions. 

Of course, conferences and retreats are an investment, both for time and cost—so you’ll want to find one that offers exactly what you’re looking for. That’s why we rounded up the five conferences and summits we’re most excited about in 2024 and beyond, so you can feel confident that you’re embarking on an exciting, invigorating new endeavor. 

Best overall: Eudēmonia 

If there’s one wellness event we’re looking forward to in 2024, it’s the Eudēmonia Summit. Eudēmonia is Greek for “human flourishing” or “well-being,” and that is exactly what the three-day transformative weekend is sure to inspire. 

Bringing together some of the most innovative, forward-thinking minds in health and wellness, the Eudēmonia Summit is a place for people to connect, exchange ideas, and learn about new developments from top experts in their fields. Just to name a few notable names on the line-up: Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., functional medicine practitioner Mark Hyman, M.D., muscle health expert Gabrielle Lyons, D.O. 

While these names are enough to get us excited, there’s so much more to explore at the conference. The summit will include 20-plus active venues with hundreds of daily sessions (from talks and treatments to movement and mindfulness sessions). There will also be an expo, so you can discover cutting-edge brands and products that will shape wellness trends for years to come—including mindbodygreen’s science-backed supplements.

This is for those who want to be proactive in their health, learn how to build stronger, more resilient bodies, and live long, flourishing lives. Sounds like you, doesn’t it?

Best for sustainability & global health: The Global Wellness Summit

This year, The Global Wellness Summit will be hosted in the picturesque St. Andrews, Scotland. Each year, the conference brings together leaders from across the world to discuss the business of wellness—and how they can shape the industry for the better. In addition to the normal topics discussed annually (such as longevity, sustainability, wellness policy, technology, and more), this year’s theme is “A Watershed Moment” so the conference will dive deeper into the topic of water and well-being. This year’s conference will include speakers like longevity expert Wim Hof, executive and sustainability specialist Robert Hammond (the man behind The High Line), and behavioral scientist Jemma King, PhD.
