Vitality Toronto Fireside & Mixer
Join us at Vitality Toronto, a relaxed evening for anyone curious about the science of aging. This isn't your typical formal event – it's a laid-back gathering where industry scientists, professionals, students, and hobbyists can connect naturally.
The highlight of the evening is our informal fireside chat with seasoned researchers in longevity. Hear firsthand about their experiences and insights in a cozy, comfortable setting. Expect real talk, honest questions, and maybe a few laughs.
After the chat, stick around for good conversation over (non-alcoholic) drinks & snacks. Whether you're deeply involved in longevity research or just starting to get interested, this mixer is the perfect place to meet people who share your curiosity. No pretense, no pressure – just good company and interesting discussions.
