Adam Gries

A representative of a radical approach to longevity and the founder of the Vitalist movement. In his view, death is not an inevitable fate, but an engineering problem to be solved. On a Honduran island, he and his partners have established the world’s first “longevity city,” where the most advanced gene therapies and biohacking solutions are made available to members of the community, while also experimenting with a new political model, the network state. At Brain Bar, Gries will bring his divisive vision to the stage, suggesting that by combining the biotechnological revolution with regulatory freedom, we can add decades to our lives and fundamentally rewrite the rulebook of human existence.
