The Longevity Global Summit 2025
Join Longevity Global in collaboration with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging for the 4th annual Longevity Summit. We will have more than 25 stellar speakers sharing cutting edge advancements in the longevity field from top biotech companies, clinicians, investment firms, and academic institutions. This two day immersive event at the scenic Buck Institute will have plentiful opportunities for networking and includes a healthy catered breakfast and lunch and two after event mixers.
This event is hybrid and the virtual link will be shared closer to the start of the event. There is also free parking onsite at the Buck for commuters.
Hotel Accommodations
We suggest that you stay at the Best Western Plus Novato Oaks Inn (215 Alameda del Prado, Novato, CA 94949). We’ve arranged a discounted room block for $139/night (before tax) - just mention the "Longevity Summit" group block when reserving your room. The booking cut-off is November 20, 2025.
Transportation
A complimentary shuttle to the Buck Institute departs the Best Western around 7:00 AM each morning.
Free parking is also available onsite at the Buck:
The gate on the entrance road will be open for the event. As you come up the hill from Redwood Boulevard, keep going straight and follow signs for the "main entrance" of the Buck Institute. When you reach the stop sign follow the parking signs. We have plenty of parking available spread across a large area. Our lower lots will fill up quickly. You may need to proceed to our upper lot, under the solar panels. Note that from the upper lot you will need to take a flight of stairs to come back down to the main entrance of Buck.
You are welcome to drop your passengers off at the door before parking, but due to fire regulations there is no parking allowed in the main circle or in parking spots marked "Reserved". We suggest that you factor in an additional 15 minutes you may need to park and walk to the main entrance of the building.
Additional details can be found on the event website.
