2024 Event - February 28 - March 1

A Conversation.
Not a conference.

The Lake Nona Impact Forum is committed to leading the conversation for building the Wellbeing Ecosystem of the Future, by exploring the intersections of health, wellness, medical and scientific innovation and strategies to optimize human performance.

The Impact Forum provides attendees and speakers with an unparalleled platform and opportunity to:

Inspire global thought leaders in business, academia, and government
Champion innovation, throughout the health and wellbeing ecosystem
Make a meaningful impact on personal, local and global scale

The three-day event takes place in Lake Nona Medical City in Orlando, FL, a life sciences and healthcare cluster of excellence featuring some of the Nation’s top universities, hospitals and research institutions. Lake Nona is a 17 square mile community dedicated to health, wellbeing and innovation and is recognized as, “the most sophisticated example in the world of what master planning for wellness can accomplish,” by the Global Wellness Summit.
