Biohacker Summit is now HOLOLIFE Summit: the full history

Biohacker Summit became HOLOLIFE Summit. Same organizers, same community, wider scope: from biohacking into longevity and holistic health optimization. This page is the record of every edition since the first Helsinki gathering on 10 December 2014, with photo albums and session recordings where they exist. The next edition, HOLOLIFE Summit 2026 Amsterdam on 14–15 November, is the 20th.

Why the name changed

Biohacker Summit started from the biohacking movement of the mid-2010s: wearables, self-quantification, cold exposure, nutrition protocols. Ten years on, the same community's questions got bigger — healthspan, longevity medicine, holistic performance. HOLOLIFE ("life beyond a lifetime") is the same event grown into that scope. The archives above stay online: recordings and photo albums from every edition remain available on this platform.
