Leading anti-aging event set to feature blockchain as part of core programming

cointelegraph.com:

Crypto conferences have continued to take the world by storm, being the epicentre for revolutionary concepts, gathering places for headline speakers, and entertainment for the wider population, with side events featuring the world's most-known celebrities. With so much attention being drawn to these events, many organizations have recognized their impact in not only promoting cryptocurrencies themselves but also in demonstrating the asset’s utility in other industries.

Consider some examples. In the most recent 2022 Grammys, the world saw a prestigious music award ceremony also become the location of thought-provoking discussions on NFTs. Not to mention, The World Economic Forum's Davos event ended up focusing on the power of blockchain and Web3.0. Taken together, events like these prove that those beyond the crypto community care about what the blockchain means for their future.

The Longevity Science Foundation is another one of the organizations embracing the power of crypto and discussing it in related events, like the Ageing Research & Drug Discovery (ARDD) conference, to help fund longevity research. The event, which has occurred for nine consecutive years, will be held in Copenhagen from August 29th to September 2nd, where hundreds of in-person attendees and thousands of virtual ones are expected to attend. 

Here, emerging technologies are designed to play a central role to the program while simultaneously exemplifying the ins and outs of the ageing process.

While initially, the ARDD conference was born out of the need to understand the basic mechanisms of ageing, including why humans develop diseases, get old and why there is yet to be a way around it, it has grown into a place to carry forward life-changing research.
