The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the $4.5 trillion global wellness economy, closed its 2019 conference by announcing that next year’s event will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, a city bursting with historical and spiritual significance and bustling with innovations that intersect wellness, healthcare and technology. The dates for the 14th annual conference will be November 10–13, 2020.

On the business forefront
A consortium of companies—both inside and outside of Tel Aviv—will serve as host sponsors for next year’s event. The first companies to sign on include Welltech1, a wellness innovation hub and microfund in Tel Aviv; Comtecgroup, an international event production company specializing in medical/scientific conferences; and Geneva-based L.RAPHAEL and R.RAPHAEL in Israel, a well-known luxury beauty brand and technological innovator in anti-ageing skin care.

In making the announcement, Susie Ellis, GWS chair and CEO, told delegates, “We’re thrilled to announce that the Summit will take place in this extraordinary location—one with deep spiritual significance and also firm roots in wellness, including its proximity to the Dead Sea, one of the earliest known wellness destinations.”

Innovation Pavilion
The GWS announced plans for the 2020 Summit to include an Innovation Pavilion, which will give delegates the opportunity to meet with the many and varied start-ups working in the wellness industry in Tel Aviv and the wider world. Welltech1’s co-founder Amir Alroy will play a key role in the Innovation Pavilion. Alroy said, “GWS delegates can expect a curated look at some of the very best wellness start-ups.”
