Why the name changed
Biohacker Summit started from the biohacking movement of the mid-2010s: wearables, self-quantification, cold exposure, nutrition protocols. Ten years on, the same community's questions got bigger — healthspan, longevity medicine, holistic performance. HOLOLIFE ("life beyond a lifetime") is the same event grown into that scope. The archives above stay online: recordings and photo albums from every edition remain available on this platform.
