The 2020 Century Summit, held virtually on December 9th, 10th, 14th and 15th, 2020, brought together top leaders in business, media, policy and research to discuss the implications of the 100-year life. Convened by the Longevity Project in collaboration with Stanford Center on Longevity, the Century Summit offered leaders an opportunity to present new visions on how society can restructure work, reorganize our cities, enhance lifelong learning, create new financial security and promote greater health and vitality in the new age of longevity.

Each day offered new insights and opportunities to develop a holistic understanding of the implications of the longer life.
