Honouring the Legacy of Dr. Pieter Cullis
The 25th Annual Healthcare Summit brings together over 50 national and international subject matter experts and leaders in artificial intelligence, personalized medicine, healthy aging and genomics. Our goal is to facilitate a collaborative and interactive environment that can stimulate innovative thinking, develop new relationships, and help translate research into practice.
We are proud to honour the legacy of Dr. Pieter Cullis, a longtime friend of the summit and a 2024 Canadian Medical Hall of Fame inductee. His groundbreaking work in lipid nanoparticle technology revolutionized drug delivery and enabled mRNA vaccines. With five approved drugs and over 100 patents, Dr. Cullis has made a lasting impact on global healthcare, shaping the future of medicine for generations to come.
Through a curated blend of keynote presentations, interactive panels, and expert-led discussions, we will illuminate the cutting-edge developments reshaping the healthcare landscape. From the integration of AI-driven solutions in diagnosis and treatment to the profound impact of genomics on personalized medicine, our summit will be at the forefront of exploring these revolutionary advancements.
Under the overarching theme of “Healthy Aging, Artificial Intelligence and Genomics” we invite delegates to embark on a journey of discovery, exploring how AI is revolutionizing diagnostics, treatment protocols, and patient care. Moreover, we will delve into the intersection of longevity research and healthy aging exploring strategies to optimize healthspan and quality of life.
This year’s summit will explore and discuss the transformative potential the following topics hold for the future of healthcare:
- Longevity and Healthy Aging
- Artificial Intelligence

- Personalized Medicine
Where we’ll embrace change, turn problems into potential, and chart the future in healthcare.
