Susie Ellis, Global Wellness Summit chairman and CEO, has confirmed the dates for next year’s GWS in Tirol, Austria are October 17-19, 2016.

This year’s GWS recently took place in Mexico City, and organisers said the event was the largest, most cross-disciplinary Summit in its nine-year history, with more than 470 delegates from more than 40 countries.

“The Mexico City Summit was a watershed moment, because passionate leaders from economics, medicine, government, technology, spa/wellness, travel, education and the arts came together to debate how to bring preventative health into our chronic disease and healthcare cost burdened world – much like when the world first came together in Kyoto to declare solidarity against climate change,” said Ellis.
