Nelson Advisors invited to the Leaders in Health Summit 2026

Nelson Advisors have been invited to attend the Leaders in Health Summit 2026 for the second year in a row , taking place on the 17th November 2026 in Havas' offices, Kings Cross, London.

The Leaders in Health Summit 2026

WellFounded, the concierge medicine and performance-health practice built around Dr Jack Kreindler and the Centre for Health & Human Performance (CHHP), is bringing its flagship gathering back for another year: the Leaders in Health Summit, scheduled for 17 November 2026. The event is staged in partnership with global communications group Havas, under the "Havas x WellFounded Health" banner that has run the summit in previous years, and applications are being taken through a dedicated registration portal rather than open ticket sales, signalling an invitation-led, curated audience.

WellFounded's own framing of the summit is less "conference" and more "experience": it describes the day as an immersion in healthy environments combined with deep debate and eye-opening science, aimed at advancing medicine among the leaders and decision-makers who attend. That fits the organisation's broader positioning. WellFounded calls itself the pioneering Founders' Health Service, a tech-enabled medical practice built for founders, investors, athletes and other high-performing individuals, with a stated mission to help people "get more out of life, for longer." Its heritage goes back through CHHP, founded in 2007, and further still to Vielife, the executive-health venture Kreindler helped build before its acquisition by Cigna in 2006, giving WellFounded roughly two decades of experience translating performance medicine and longevity science into services for high-pressure operators.

Past editions give a sense of what to expect. The 2025 summit carried the theme "Making Medicine Personal Again," pointing to a focus on personalised and precision medicine as a counterweight to one-size-fits-all healthcare. The prior London edition drew a genuinely multidisciplinary crowd — public commentary from attendees at the time referenced live panels on subjects like whether citizen science should drive clinical trial design, suggesting the format leans toward debate and challenge rather than straight keynote delivery. Given WellFounded's client base, the audience typically spans startup founders, venture investors, clinicians and health-tech operators rather than a single professional silo.

Running alongside the summit is the LiH Awards programme, WellFounded's recognition scheme for founders and CEOs who go beyond the ordinary in prioritising the health and wellbeing of their teams. Previous cohorts have been drawn from the portfolios of venture firms including Balderton Capital and Mosaic Ventures, with entrants and nominators given access to WellFounded's Impact Report detailing outcomes from its work with early groups of founders. The awards reinforce the summit's underlying thesis: that founder and leadership health is not a personal indulgence but a determinant of company performance, and that the startup ecosystem has been slow to treat it that way.

For anyone in healthcare, health-tech or the investment community around them, the Leaders in Health Summit is worth watching less as a typical trade event and more as a barometer of where concierge, longevity and performance medicine are heading next and who in the founder and investor world is willing to put their name behind that shift publicly, both on stage and through the accompanying awards
