The International Conference on GoldenZone Wellness 2025
"Wellness in the Ageing World"
26 June 2025
Kompass Campus, Bangkok, Thailand
For the first time in history, older adults will soon outnumber children, reshaping societies in ways we have yet to fully grasp. With advances in medicine and technology extending lifespans, the challenge is no longer just about longevity—it is about ensuring that longer lives are lived in good health, fulfillment, and dignity. However, many ageing societies remain unprepared, facing rising chronic diseases, mental health concerns, and gaps in healthcare accessibility. Traditional wellness models, designed for younger populations, struggle to adapt to the realities of an ageing world. The question we must ask is: How can we build a future where wellness is lifelong, inclusive, and sustainable for all?
The impact of ageing goes beyond healthcare. It influences urban planning, technological innovation, economic policies, and even social structures. While scientific breakthroughs in genetics, digital health, and community design offer promising solutions, they must be integrated into holistic strategies that serve diverse ageing populations. A future of healthy ageing requires collaboration—between scientists, policymakers, business leaders, and communities—to transform knowledge into action. Read More!

As the global population ages, understanding the cutting-edge genetic technologies that influence longevity and ageing is becoming increasingly critical. This session will focus on the latest advancements in genetics, such as CRISPR gene editing, epigenetic modifications, and advancements in genomic sequencing. We will explore how these innovations are unlocking new potential in extending lifespan, promoting healthiness, and enhancing happiness. Additionally, we will discuss how these technologies are being used to understand and potentially manipulate telomere biology, DNA damage and repair mechanisms, and the role of stem cells in ageing. The session will highlight not only the scientific breakthroughs but also the ethical, social, and political implications of these emerging genetic technologies.Read More!
