RAADfest 2026

RAADfest 2026 is the eleventh edition of the annual longevity and age-reversal gathering produced by the nonprofit Coalition for Radical Life Extension. It runs September 4 to 6, 2026 at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, over the U.S. Labor Day weekend. The organizers describe the event as part science conference, part festival and part community movement, aimed at a broad audience rather than only researchers or clinicians.

The 2026 program is built around the theme "What's now. What's new. What works," with an emphasis on practical, trackable protocols and real-world outcomes. Sessions span metabolism, inflammation, recovery, sleep, nutrition and movement, alongside topics such as brain longevity, senolytics, regenerative and personalized medicine, cellular reprogramming, sexual health and pet longevity. Talks are delivered across a main stage and an expo stage.

Alongside the presentations, attendees can visit the RAADcity expo, where longevity companies and practitioners exhibit products and services, and take part in networking and social events including a Saturday dinner and a closing celebration. According to the official site, General Admission tickets are priced from USD 747, with the VIP tier listed as sold out. The event is organized by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and positions itself as an accessible entry point into the longevity field, deliberately avoiding technical jargon so that newcomers and experienced biohackers alike can follow the material.
