Eudemonia 2026 brought about 8,000 people through the West Palm Beach event, up from more than 5,000 in 2025, according to founder Sean Hoess. The three-day gathering combined expert talks, exercise and recovery sessions, and more than 160 brands, while organizers and speakers described growing interest in longevity and wellness.
Eudemonia 2026 drew about 8,000 people to the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, according to founder and CEO Sean Hoess, as the three-day event brought together wellness and longevity speakers, exercise and recovery activities, and more than 160 brands. The reported turnout was up from more than 5,000 in 2025, reflecting increased attendance at a gathering focused on health, performance and products marketed to people interested in longer, healthier lives.
The event combined talks and practical activities, including breathwork, meditation, strength training and cold plunges. More than 150 speakers and thought leaders took part, according to the report, spanning health, academic research, longevity and performance. The schedule included public figures and specialists such as Andrew Huberman, Kelly Slater, Tom Brady, Dr. Jessica Shepherd of Hims & Hers and Dr. Robin Berzin of Parsley Health.
Hoess told Athletech News that a late rush of registrations pushed attendance beyond the organizers’ goals. He also said an additional 5,000 to 6,000 people were present amid a Sofi Tukker 5K and a concert by The Head and the Heart. The report does not specify how those event-related visitors were counted relative to the roughly 8,000 people who passed through Eudemonia itself.
The expo featured more than 160 brands across diagnostics, wearables, supplements, recovery and performance. Among the products and services introduced or previewed were Shiftwave’s nervous-system regulation system, a hair analysis test from Rose Health, Lution’s planned home air-quality analysis system and Levl’s at-home strength training system. The report describes launches and demonstrations, but does not independently evaluate their performance or the evidence behind their claims.
Attendance and the Longevity Market
The reported growth gives a measure of public interest in longevity and wellness events, while bringing a wide range of businesses into contact with consumers. For attendees, the event offered exposure to expert discussions and products in one place; for exhibitors, it provided an opportunity to present new offerings and hear questions from potential customers.
That interest also makes evidence and clear product claims consequential. Hoess said organizers seek brands with some scientific support while remaining open to new technologies that may not yet have been studied in depth. His description is a statement of the event’s approach, not an independent finding that every product or protocol on the floor has been validated.

How the Event Expanded
Eudemonia’s reported attendance rose from more than 5,000 in 2025 to about 8,000 in 2026, based on figures cited by Hoess to Athletech News. The source attributes the 2026 figure to people who came through the event doors and separately mentions another 5,000 to 6,000 people associated with the 5K and concert. It does not provide an audited attendance count or explain whether there was overlap between those groups.
Programming began with community activities before the main event. Aion hosted a beach walk in weighted vests, with movement led by Mike Holland and breathwork guided by Gary Brecka. During the event, former CrossFit Games champion Jason Khalipa led strength sessions. The mix of activities and discussions reflects Eudemonia’s effort to combine consumer experiences with programming on health and performance, rather than operating solely as a product expo.
““It’s very hard to reach people nowadays, but slowly, word of mouth has been spreading.””
— Sean Hoess, Eudemonia founder and CEO, speaking to Athletech News
Attendance and Evidence Questions
The attendance figures come from Hoess as reported by Athletech News; the source does not describe an independent count or provide exact event dates. It also does not clarify how the additional 5,000 to 6,000 people connected to the race and concert relate to the reported Eudemonia attendance.
More broadly, the event’s product launches and demonstrations do not establish that the products deliver specific health outcomes. The report says organizers look for brands with some scientific evidence, while also considering new technologies that may not have been studied in depth. Details about study quality, product effectiveness and longer-term follow-up were not provided.
Organizers Eye Further Growth
Hoess said he sees room for Eudemonia to grow in future years, but the report gives no announced date, venue, attendance target or confirmed program for the next event. Any plans for another edition therefore remain subject to a formal announcement.
For the products introduced or previewed in West Palm Beach, the next milestones vary. Lution said it expected to ship its home air-quality analysis system within weeks, while other brands used the event to launch or demonstrate offerings. The report does not give independent confirmation of those timelines or provide follow-up results from the launches.
