The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the most important gathering of international leaders in the $4.2 trillion global wellness economy, has released the full agenda for the 13th annual GWS to be held at Grand Hyatt Singapore from October 15–17, 2019. Global hospitality brand Hyatt is the host sponsor for this year’s event.
This mega event of three days will attract leading business and thought leaders from 50 countries to the Summit in Singapore. Wellness industry leaders and visionaries still have the chance to apply to attend the grand event, which is well-known for its keynotes and panels that analyze the largest opportunities unfolding in the wellness economy, from aspirational ageing to the reinvention of healthcare; from spa and beauty trends to the role of purpose in our lives and work; from rethinking real estate and retail to travel, tourism and more.
“Shaping the Business of Wellness” is the theme of this year’s Summit and delegates will gather at Grand Hyatt Singapore looking forward to hear from high-profile industry experts on where wellness is headed globally, with a keen spotlight on Asia, the fastest-growing of all wellness markets, including the new leaders/innovators driving the growth in the region.
