Following the success of the 2025 Ascension Mind-Body Summit, Ascension returns in 2026 as an expanded, invitation-only, two-day gathering kicking off the White House Correspondents’ Dinner weekend.

Ascension advances a cross-sector dialogue grounded in science and culture—bringing together leaders across medicine, research, business, government, media, and the wellness ecosystem to explore longevity, integrative health, and the brain–gut connection. The Summit spotlights the breakthroughs, tools, and perspectives shaping how we live well and age well.
